Only improvement would be a quick release/tighten for the main bike clamp. I think some models have that now.
Very good bit of kit for dirt cheap!

They do charge for proper fitting and analysis sessions but this was free. Was on the bike for 15 mins or so so not a full sessions as you normally book them by the half hour or hour.

Look for some sky hooks to hang it from rather than a stand.

Bought a Carerra Vanquish (so still not exactly top of the range by any means) but as a first road bike absolutely loving it.
Utter bargain for the price I paid.
9.5km in 22 minutes. Not too bad although so out of shape by 7km

Went roadie today got puntures in both wheels, ha, no problem I carry two tubes. Swapped them out fitted them. Got the pump out and both tubes had fucked valves!
So had to find the leaks in old tubes and patch them and refit them. Cunt.
That'll be why they were cheap on the bay then. Fecker lol...

So had a bit of a competition with a pal tonight, he said he could do washington to beamish and back in an hour... He did it in 56mins.
So i set off to beat him
Also did 3 miles each way to the start point. On the way at average 14mph and home at average 10.5mph
Pretty happy overall

Slowly slowly, catchy monkey. Never ridden on country roads before and my legs (and ass cheeks) aren't quite used to being on the bike for long.
Trying to avoid getting 10 miles from home and needing to walk back
