Grand, the clamp size had me guessing.

Great frame, although I use a Ribble Alu CX for commuting and it is significantly nicer.

Ribble Alu CX for commuting and it is significantly nicer.

As not as racey? Can you say a bit more?

I also have an alu Crux, it is a better frame, but I have good components on the Kinesis with the carbon fork and it's still a fun bike. Have been using the Kinesis for commuting the last couple of years, so am quite attached to it at this stage.

Stiffer and more racey / responsive. A bit too aggressive for training rides for me at the moment as I am recovering from a bad back. I will swap kit across in the spring if recovery continues uninterrupted.

I take this is about Kinesis, right?
