On a smooth road surface this thing is a wet dream. So smooth , almost fluid the way it covers the ground. Floats like a,(you know the rest). Climbing with the mid compact gearing is also good with this stiff BB. If you don't like going uphill on this bike it's not the bike you should be looking at.

On a rough road, hold on, to your teeth. The ROVAL 35's catch crosswind, so keep peddling to upset the airflow, especially descending. With 25mm tyres there is not much clearance in the downtube BB area, the tyre compresses, the frame not so much.

Killer frame, worth keeping with upgraded wheels, thick gloves and good chamois in your nicks. All the components do their job, upgrade if you want but keep this frame, do you hear me Mr.Speialized.
