I'd be grateful for any useful pieces of info. such as opinions on the quality of ride and stock tires. I'm 50, 175 cm 90 kg fit. i do road riding on weekends about 100 km/week. Bike size is 540 toptube as determined by Guru.

Im guessing OP has now got their bike.

For anyone thinking of picking this ride (no pun) up I purchased this same bike a few months back. I have to say its been a pretty solid bike. Only real change made was I swapped out the OEM saddle for a Prologo Kappa. The OEM saddle always creaked whenever there was even the slightest flex in the wings.

Pros;
105 groupset (mostly)
carbon forks and seatpost
Price
Internal cabling
Smooth welds

Cons;
Aforementioned saddle
Inner tubes, have punctured both. Swapped out for some quality ones
At close to 2000g, the Fulcrum wheels a little heavy


But hey overall, for $1350 its been pretty good bang for my buck.
