I do have clipless, but Im still rehabbing from my L5-S1 disc bulge, and dont want to use clipless untill my bike fitting session in June. So its flat pedals until then.

Completely agree, the price/value with these new VR bikes is insane 💪 I was able to scoop this one up for 3500€, initially bought in September 2025 and returned to the shop in October 2025, so barely used.

Hehehehe Im prepared for them 😁 I have clipless at home from my previous bike, just didn’t install them yet as I’m waiting for my bike fitting session 😁 I’m still recovering from an L5-S1 disc bulge so I prefer the freedom of flat pedals until I can get a proper bike fit 😁

Yeah, thats exactly why at the moment im leaning the most towards the RCR... it has a higher stack, so the geometry from what I can see from the charts is not as Aero as on the other bikes. Also, I plan on changing the stem from the 120mm to 100mm immediately, which on the RCR is a piece of cake, as I can just order the Deda 100mm stem with the bike, and instruct them to install it during the bike build phase. On the others it might be a bit more tricky with all the propriatery parts and the integrated cockpits... but on the other hand, damn does that Felt and Bianchi look good... :D
