Finished the cannondale today and took it out for a little ride. It’s a good fit and quite fun to ride. Definitely more relaxed than sporty thanks to the swept riser bars. Unsurprisingly though, the 1x setup with a narrow chainring and a 7 speed chain made for a couple chain drops so I put a front derailleur on as a chain guide.
Excellent, that looks great. Inspiration for a frame I've got lying around. Where in the world are you, with a combination of hops (?) and wind farms?!
I‘m at my gf‘s place in North Rhine Westphalia close to the dutch border. Not sure whether it‘s hops though, my gf suggested it might be a special way of growing fruit. The method is called „spalierobst“ and it makes the harvest easier. This is just a guess though :)
