NBD Aeroad CFR and JRC Components

Just bought this after 2 years of good service with an Ultimate CF SLX

First ride and here are the key differences I felt :
– much more rigid, sprinting is instantaneous, you feel all the power directly going to the wheels
– less comfort, bike is really stiff
– end of the drop are thinner than expected but I can get used to that
– sram red works and looks perfect
– 2 upper buttons are used to navigate on the gps with long press, short press on the right displays the map, short left click rings the Garmin 1050 bell
– can’t tell about the crosswind effectiveness of the 454 but they look awesome
– went a size down from S on the Ultimate to XS here, feels better for racy position
– black with the the sparkles makes it less boring than plain black
