Chapter2 KOKO: My First Carbon Aero Road Bike

Those who saw my Instagram post know that I recently built a Chapter2 KOKO.
This is Nishigami.



People often ask me, "You built a nice one, but are you riding it?"

The truth is, I haven't been riding it much.

Due to work and family commitments, it's been difficult for me to go on long cycling trips recently.
So, I'm planning to resume my morning rides, where I cycle lightly around the neighborhood before business hours, just like I used to.

I've ridden various chromoly frames before, but this is actually my first carbon aero road bike.
And after riding it a little, what I thought was that, compared to the chromoly frames I've ridden so far,
the ride quality isn't as bad as I expected.
Not only is it not bad, it might even be easier (sweat)
Climbing is also relatively easy.
Though it's still tough.

Since it's built with only good parts, I don't know what's making the difference, but the actual weight is a super light 7.5kg (!), which is undoubtedly one of the reasons.

I'll ride it more and review it little by little.
