So this bike is a total delight - still can’t quite believe it’s mine.
The only snag is the skinny skinny tyres - turns out they’re bloody uncomfortable on all but smooth roads.
So a 650b conversion may be in the making - likely SJS own-brand rims (like Pacentis but way cheaper), SP Dynamo front hub, and Shimano-whatever rear. Would love to squeeze a 40mm ish in there but tbc. Will hang onto the 700c set but this is crying out for a more rando vibe. To be updated.
Oh, and the Brooks might be the comfiest saddle I’ve ever had - who knew?
