Yesterday was a nice reminder of why I spent so much time forcing mudguards to work on this. I'd been pondering taking them off, but after yday my bike and kit was just in such better condition than my pals'. I'd like curved; GB or similar but I think they'd further limit what I could squeeze in.
The other 'must have' is a gear <1:1, when the riding is as steep and rough as the peak district, sitting and spinning is the only way to get up - the bodged triple-> sub-compact is perfect for this.
Since this bike will never be 'done' my current pondering is whether cowchippers and -1cm of stack would save how the bike looks. Maybe foolish to pursue aesthetics at the cost of function on such a badly proportioned bike.
