I ended up spending most of the time talking with the distributor and shop staff, and before I knew it, time had just flown by.
Fortunately, just before leaving, I had the chance to test ride the current MAGMA V2 model.

自分の MAGMA と比べてみますが、あくまで個人的な感想なので、実際とは異なる部分もあると思います

The MAGMA has high stiffness, and the power you put into the pedals feels like it transfers directly to the bike.
I think it suits racers or those who prefer a more direct riding feel.

To be honest, I was really surprised by how quickly the V2 accelerates.
As soon as I pushed on the pedals, it moved forward effortlessly — the responsiveness was better than I expected.
エアロ性能も進化しているし、快適性も損なわれていないので、ロングライドにも向いていそうです

It feels like they’ve kept what was great about the first generation while refining the overall design. The bike seems very well put together — I’d say the level of finish is impressively high.

The post AURUM Test Ride Event first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

Since it’s been a while since Oni-sama last rode,
we picked a flat route with little traffic.
We went from the Tamagawa River, through the Asakawa River, and all the way to Takao.

Along the way, we stopped here and there,
took breaks, admired the koinobori(carp streamers), and cruised just under 80km.

It was a relaxed pace, but I could still feel how good the AURUM rides (maybe it's just a placebo).

Oni-sama was totally wiped out by the time we got home—
but honestly, that’s the perfect amount of tired.

Golden Week isn’t over yet.
Still more fun to come!

The post A Relaxed Golden Week Ride with Oni-sama first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

Maybe it’s the contrast from riding a gravel bike until last week,
but this thing feels incredibly light and fast.
It’s so fun, I couldn’t help but laugh—what a ride.

Planning to spend more time getting to know it through the rest of Golden Week.

That said, one thing I can’t stop thinking about
is the cable routing through the head tube.
I’m a bit worried about how it might hold up
when turning the bars sharply—or in the rain…

Even if the bearings rust, I guess it’s just a matter of replacing them.
構造的にちょっと手間がかかりそうな気がしています

That said—
there’s no doubt this is a seriously amazing bike.
It’s pure excitement.

The post First Ride on the AURUM MAGMA first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

I went to pick up my bike from Magnet, where they had finished assembling it for me!

Since a lot of parts aren’t installed yet, it’s incredibly light.
I can’t wait to ride it!

The post AURUM Magma Has Arrived first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

The new frame is the AURUM MAGMA.
It’s not the latest model—but that’s exactly what makes it special.

I’ve always been interested in AURUM, partly because I was a fan of Contador and Basso.
Thanks to a series of fortunate connections, I finally got my hands on one. Grateful!

I brought the frame to MAGNET (@magnet_ssc).
It matches the shop’s vibe perfectly—looks amazing.

I’m tempted to just leave it on display there forever (just kidding).

It’ll be a little while before the full build is ready, but I’m really looking forward to it!

(Added on April 10, 2025)
After I ordered the frame, I was looking at other photos and noticed a spot on the down tube where the Di2 junction box could be embedded. I thought, “Nice, that’ll make things really clean!” But when I looked closely at the actual frame, it wasn’t there. Seriously? What a shock… I wonder why.

But then I realized—maybe it’s because the 12-speed Di2 doesn’t use a junction box anymore… That makes sense.

The post New Bike: AURUM Magma! first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

Thank you for 4 years and 4 months since December 2020.

Lastly, I took a commemorative photo near the Gas Bridge along the Tamagawa River.
It was surprisingly light after removing the lights and parts.

I’ve also been fortunate enough to get my hands on the next frame.
I’m looking forward to it.

The post Look 785 Huez rs disc, thank you for everything. first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

There were a lot of people, so I couldn’t take photos leisurely, so I quickly snapped a few and left.
I’ll try again next week, at a slightly later time, to take photos more calmly.

It already feels like summer.

The post Annual tradition, commemorative photo at Sakura-saka first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

The small body hides quite a lot of power.
The suspension and body roll have also been well considered.

I haven’t properly driven it yet, so I’ll enjoy it this weekend! (I feel like I won’t actually drive it unless I get motivated.)

The post Purchase of Mini-Z RWD MR-04 first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

Has it really been since the new year? I’ve noticed canola flowers blooming along my commute route by the Tamagawa River, and I’ve been meaning to take a photo for a while. Finally, I was able to capture them!
The canola flowers are so beautiful, and with the cherry blossoms blooming nearby, I’m looking forward to seeing the sakura on the yellow carpet of flowers soon.

Although it’s gradually getting colder, cycling is still so much fun.
Yesterday, the headwind along the Tamagawa was really strong, so I took a different route home with more hills, and I was completely exhausted.
. I used to be able to ride like a breeze when I was younger…

The post The Season of Canola Blossoms first appeared on Roma-chan, you're grinning way too much!.

The part that broke this time is the mounting point for the steering wiper, shown inside the red circle in the photo.
I can't believe this part broke... Jumps are terrifying—or maybe I'm just a terrible driver.

The lower deck is also unbelievably cheap at a list price of just 760 yen.
I think I'm getting even more hooked on RC cars than on bicycles.
I ended up buying two, including a spare.

I'll continue the repairs (and replacement) little by little over the weekend.
