First impressions

Finally, yesterday it was +8oC, sunny, though windy, and I took my first ride with the new Scott Foil 40. The distance was 48 km, most of the distance was a good quality tarmac but a short 3 km stage was an old and rough tarmac, there were two 5% inclinations (roughly 500 m each) and corresponding descents. My average speed was 27.4 km/h, the maximum descent speed was 52 km/h and the minimal speed on the top of the climb about 13 km/h.
The first impressions on the bike are controversial.
Problems first. The rear derailleur does not work perfectly if the chain is bent, i.e. the chain is on the same time on the large chain-ring and large sprocket (excuse me, if I use wrong terminology, I am still not fluent with the bike vocabulary). This is not a big deal, I guess it is just a matter of adjustment and I will complain when I will have the first, free-of-charge bike inspection-service (foreseen after the first 300-500 km). Much more serious problem is that the seat post clamp does not fix properly the seat post. Scott Foil has an internal seat post clamp and the seat post itself is also oval, so actually I cannot inspect the seat post clamp. I tightened the seat post clamp bolt at least five times with the Allen wrench I had with me and finally I used quite much force. I worried to break the carbon but I had no other option since the seat post slipped down for a millimeter or two with the bumps on the bad surface. Remains to be seen whether it was just a problem of a new bike or it is a much more serious problem. I will tighten the bolt again before the next ride, hopefully the seat post will stay in correct position. If not, I will go back to the shop to complain. Anyway, the slipping seat post shows  already scratches on it that should not be there.
Otherwise, the bike is very lightweight, the frame surprisingly well absorbs bumps, the L size frame fits me well (I am 187 cm and 100+ kg). It is definitely a good road bike. On the other hand, since my spreed is too low to utilize the aero geometry of the frame, it is hard to say how much less power in reality I use thanks to the aero frame. Anyway, the aero geometry was not the bike selection criterion for me, I wanted a carbon frame road bike and the Scott Foil frame just looked beautiful. Everything else is good as well but I can expect from a 1800 EUR (with pedals and options) carbon frame and Shima 105 equipped bike that everything functions perfectly.
The first overall impression is 4 stars out of 5 possible. Next I want to take a 100 km ride and then I can tell how I feel after a longer ride. I am still a bit disappointed with the seat post clamp problem in this price level. As I wrote, remains to be seen.
