Snuck out after lunch yesterday to go for a ride with Zi. Zi’s already ridden Loftus on his brand new Giant Trance X so I thought I’d bring him to Manly Dam.
Weather was cool, we went a little late though (3pm) and we were caught in peak hour traffic on the way out. The ride was great though, Zi’s definitely got some natural skills on the bike, great considering he’s never owned a mountain bike before. His legs ‘turn to jelly’ as he puts it, pretty quickly. A few more rides will sort that out I’m sure.
Zi’s renting out a garage in his apartment and this was in there. Check the shifter! It’s awesome.
What a horse. Zi’s Trance X – it’s so massive.

I also rode the Paino last night, damn it’s a fast bike! I definitely feel a bit cramped up on it, mainly because the riser bars bring the cockpit a whole lot closer to me than the drop bars do. I’ll try putting the saddle a bit further back on the rails. Zi stole my Fizik Aliante gel saddle and gave me his Fizik Nisene one instead. It’s not as comfy as the Aliant XM was but it looks more like a race saddle so I’m happy with it for now (I’d like a white saddle!). I also put on a few weenie parts I had in my spares box, she’s now at 8.5kg’s!
