This is my dream road bike, I had this need since I saw one built up with a modern groupset. After a long hunt I was able to find a frameset in very good shape, no dents, just a few scratches. Since I've never rode a road bike before my plan was to go fancy but not too expensive, the tiagra 4700 groupset fit perfectly in my pocket and it is a very nice groupset. Bought most of the thins second handed minus the groupset, it rides like a beast! Weighting at 9,700kg.

Nice bike bro, but how does it feel to use brakes and have a freewheel hub after riding fixed gear for so long?
