Saturday is CR Day for me!

Great day to pick up a new bike. I'm sure you will love it.
The running in is quite tedious if done according to the manual and requires a degree of self control. Get the running in done ASAP, before the riding season starts if you can.

Saturday is CR Day for me!
 
This thread confirms what I have been saying for years; a history of riding bicycles 'on the drops' plus an errrrm Italian 🤔 stature of 5' 8" with sort legs and long arms means a good fit on the 961CR with clip-ons. And note that absolutely is nothing like the dimensions of Neanderthal man.....

In the good(?) old days you picked your bike up from Castle Donington Norton and if it didn't break down you rode out your 'break in' miles putting up with the muted gurgle of an exhaust being overtaken by scooters, bicycles, pizza delivery riders etc. Eventually that hallowed day arrived when you delivered it back to have the cat taken off, the straight through pipes fitted and a remap and you rode away, on what felt like a completely different bike. You still get overtaken by super-scooters and electric pizza delivery riders but at least it sounds as though you could go a lot faster if you really wanted to......

I wonder, are we related?

If you struggle with getting boots over your calves, I think we must be!

In other news the CR is doing wonders for my shoulder muscles.

Errr yes I do!!! Had a pair of old Lewis Leathers boots modified to accommodate them. I think we are related by the Brotherhood of the Chainset.........
 
Out of interest, what you planning?

PCP - you only have to give it back stock, so unless you're chopping the frame or whatever you could potentially be fine
