I'd like to introduce you to...

Hey guys, it's a Specialized Secteur Comp. It's actually the non-carbon version of the Roubaix or Ruby if WSD (I think).

My maiden voyage was great. A couple of niggles, like my hands getting sore on the hoods inbetween my thumb and forefinger and a bit of neck strain but otherwise it was wonderful. Was out and about for three hours. A much more relaxing ride than my hybrid.

She is fast, I didn't increase my average time but I was still unsure of the controls and my posture etc. It's quicker on the sprints, and middle aged men sure do not appreciate being overtaken by young ladies like myself! I also had a couple of old men shout at me 'that's the first appearance of one of those hot shots today'. I never got anything like this on my hybrid

The 25c tyres and the carbon seat stays/forks/seatpost really dampen the road vibration. A very, very comfortable ride imo.

The picture isn't great but it has this lovely matt paint finish. It's so subtle yet racey at the same time

Oh, and how do I remove the plastic thing?
