Race bikes have always been a little too sharp for civilians — twitchy, harsh and hard to stop in the wet. Disc brakes and wider tyres have fixed two of those three complaints.
The frame remains startlingly light, and the integrated cockpit is clean if fiddly to adjust. Ride quality on 28 mm tyres is far better than the geometry suggests.
You will not need the top-end groupset to enjoy it. The frame is the point.
