This is the first time we&#8217;ve seen them in Oz. I&#8217;ve got a Core and a Contender in the garage (figuratively speaking; they&#8217;re actually in my office\/workshop), the Core being the base model and the Contender being the flash one.<\/p>\n<p>Video interlude:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/100533236\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Okay, where was I? Oh yeah. The Core. I&#8217;ve been riding it all week. The Contender has a flat tyre that I&#8217;m sure to fix one day soon. The Core is a wonderful bike, just feels right and tight. I have to keep reminding myself that I have a better bike in the garage (read: office). The Contender&#8217;s role is to be ogled (lovely paint job and spec) and occasionally lifted (it&#8217;s marvelously light). I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll get a spare tube into it tomorrow and take it for a ride.<\/p>\n<p>Yes I&#8217;m doubly blessed at the moment.
