Today I'm going to talk about what I dislike, what I like and I'm going to answer that all important question. If I had a chance all over again, would I still buy this bike? Good morning and welcome to finally the Track Tomorrow NDSL 5 review video. Alright so the important question is what do I dislike about this bike? So there are a few things that are a little bit niggly about the bike. The first is the top tube because obviously I film vlogs, I carry a top tube bag and the black paint has marked a little bit which is quite disappointing. I had easily that marked. I've had this top tube bag on a couple of other bikes and it's not made any difference whatsoever. It's a bit disappointing but the handlebar tape as well. It's nice and comfortable handlebar tape but it is wearing and I've only done 3,000K I think. It seems to have worn quite quickly compared to I've had other bar tape that's lasted a couple of years. It is starting to wear and I don't think it's going to last that long so that might have to get replaced at some point. And then the big talking point that everybody asks is the weight. So how do I find the bike weight? Well my previous winter bike was a BMC SL road racer and that was about 8,8.5kg, something like that, and on. What you were carrying on the bike, this is over 9kg so not a massive difference but most of that is in the wheels. I think the wheels are 2,100g so if you upgrade these wheels to a better set of wheels you could easily knock a kilogram off and it will be back where my BMC is. But do you notice it? I'm a little bit slower on the heels, yes, but comfort wise and it's just going along on the flat. It is an amazing bike so the wheels haven't really put me off the bike, let's put it that way because I know I can upgrade them. But the bike is heavy in that fact and a lot of that as well is there's 32C inner tubes in these tyres and the spare and tube I've got in the down tube. It is heavy itself so when you've got three inner tubes that probably weigh 500g then you're adding to the weight. You could go tubeless and that was certainly a little weight where you could get some tubelitos or some really light inner tubes to dissipate the weight a bit. But all in all that shouldn't put you off the bike. It's just not, I'm going to stop wheels. I mean there's what you expect from stop wheels but it doesn't really affect bike. But you can't just put it on the bike. But you can't just put it on the bike. But you can't just put it on the bike. Although this compartment was a major selling point when I bought the bike the compartment itself, I mean you can see that's not, you see there. It doesn't come in very easily. There's one of the questions I wanted to know is does it come with the bike, the bag come with the bike and the pocket and yes it does. It says to put a pump, inner tube, tyre levers, it is a tight squeeze. It's hard to roll up and it barely fits in there. Most of the stuff that you do is in the top part of the bike. And then we've got this itself which is quite flimsy. I mean it doesn't quite sit on the bike very well. It's a great gadget and it keeps the bike nice and clean when the bottle is in there it is a little bit wobbly. But it's not, it's not going to turn me off the bike. But that is it. Those are the few things that I don't like about the bike so all pretty much. Not a lot really. It's a monobike because this bike itself is probably the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. It just absorbs the road. Right so when I was looking to buy a bike I was looking at had to be discs, had to be Shimano 105. It had to be a similar replacement to the BMC that was replacing. And the variety of bikes I looked for, this one just looked amazing. So it was the looks in the compartment and the colour. Lights. What do I like about this bike? Well it is the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden by far. It just dampens up the road. That ISO speed really works. You read the gump and you think does it really work? It absolutely does. It smooths out rough roads. It makes descending on it. It is just incredible because it is so smooth, so comfortable. And with the disc brakes as well, it just gives you so much confidence and it is fast downhill. Despite the wheels, it just flies downhill. I hit 92 kilometres an hour the other week. Just going downhill and not peddling this. It is a really fast bike. I mean it is sleek its arrow without the saddle bag. Without any of the cables, it is properly arrow. It is a really fast bike. It is fast on the flats. It goes uphill well enough. The gear in is amazing. Blender stem is another plus. I love the fact that you can connect your Wahoo on the blender stem. And you can have GoPro or in this case I have my Insta360 mount underneath. It just looks so neat. It is all nice lines. Just really clever that is. This is just beautiful. I really like the idea of this. Even though it is a little bit flimsy, the practicality of not having a saddle bag and how clean the bike looks, it just looks immense with nothing on it. You can put what you need in your back pockets. Everything else can go in there. It just looks amazing. And let's say the colour is superb. I am looking at an arrow 30s to put on it which is like 1300g. So you are looking at 800g. If you go tubeless and take out the tyres, you are going to say over a kilogram on this bike. The question I get asked the most is is it heavy? Yeah, over 9kg it is heavy. But on the hills, the gear in is brilliant. 34th around here. We have short climbs about 10 minutes long but they are sort of 10% to 25%. So you need some better gears anyway, especially in my age and getting old. But it is just an amazing bike. That is the question you are all asking. If I was looking for another bike again, knowing what you know about this bike, would I buy it again? 100% yes, I would spend my money just like that. It is a fantastic bike and the only real downside is the weight. And like I say, with those wheels you can show the kilogram off. I mean this is a 400g saddle as well. So with the Physicantis on there, you see another couple hundred grams. If you are a weight green, there are things you can change. But it is a heavy bike because you have got disc brakes. But the advantage you have got going downhill on this thing is just immense downhill. So much confidence. I just absolutely love this bike. So if you are thinking about buying one and this is the video that sells you to buy it, I hope you go and buy this bike. If you can find one, they are very, very hard to find. So if you like this video and you found it useful and it is made your mind up about buying this bike, do go ahead and buy it. So if you like this video, don't forget to like, comment and subscribe. And we will see you soon in the next video. But do buy the bike. It is awesome. It is a gift.
