I'll be putting in some training and dropping a bit of belly mass, but if I can save a few KGs on the bike for a sane amount of money then I will. I've been riding the same road bike for 5/6 years anyway and I fancy something a bit lighter/faster. I don't mind really aggressive geometry: I've got other bikes for going slow on.
Descending isn't an area where I feel I'm particularly lacking. I've ridden a decent amount of proper mountains for a Brit and dropping down the other side is something I do OK at. Going uphill is the bit I struggle with...
