Had my first commute in 3 months yesterday, what a pleasure. Cool enough, not super busy out.
Was a bit worried I should have fitted mudguards when I had the chance last year when it was tipping it down Wednesday night.
Also I feel a bit wasteful carrying a laptop etc on the back when the frame is low trail, and in the past I’ve preferred front loading with a porteur. I mainly don’t want the weight of a front rack when I’m not commuting. My bars are too narrow for putting the carradice on the front (sti clearance). So considering a tubus duo (just one?) or blue lug S-Rack, or maybe just fuck it and go for a sim works half moon
Undecided about the colour matched stem vs silver. Need some silver bars and to get the steerer cut
Also noticed my bars are handled down a little too much, I could feel the ends tilt up in the drops.
