I had a big smile on my face today getting to ride this again, probably the first time since I was a teen. Rolling around local suburbia, it has become novel to with ride flats, wide bars and none of the usual cycling clobber. Feels floaty and slack, fits well and could get away with a longer stem too which adds to the options. Shifting surprisingly well though no hills attempted. The bar and stem have never sat well with me although aesthetically they are growing on me by the day. The 21.1mm steerer is limiting although there is some choice. Currently thinking a gas pipe riser quill with wide riser 25.4 bars , others include the rarer bullmoose or a slingshot style double clamp stem w/22mm moto bars.
