The Brompton's great, love it, such a handy little machine, needs some small upgrades though. But I'm absolutely surprised how fast and agile it is.
The Marin's got another cockpit change (this is just a form of obsession at this point), 56 cm wide flat bars with a bit of backsweep, a 80 mm ahead stem and an adapter. Looks okay, feels great, much better than the cruiser bars. Easier to store and get through doorways and steering doesn't feel nearly as twitchy anymore, it's much more stable. I guess this frame geometry appreciates some front load for stability. Oh and it has a fully working 2x7 setup now!
I've been out riding the Puch and it's stellar, even the Flite is comfortable enough with bib shorts, so I'm very happy with it. Decided on trying these Sensah brifters. They feel solid, were easy to install/set up and they work well, albeit their durability is of course questionable. I've got to admit that I've failed the bdhu game miserably this time, will adjust later I guess.
And I've already ridden more this year than any of the past 10 years, so I'm quite happy with that.
