  • ignoring the chaos in these photos

    I washed my bike just now as I had time to kill and knew it would be pretty essential to getting all the instagram likes I need on the ‘new build’ bike photos I’m gonna have to take once it’s done.
    Then the postman came and dropped off the last couple bits I was waiting for. So I figured I’d test fit the bars to see what the vibes were saying before taking it to the shop to have brakes swapped over and bars cut down

    what do we reckon, i think it’s pretty cool 😎

  • The vibe is quite there, for sure! I don't know what is your fit goal, but it might look a little bit too wide/flat to be upright and comfortable for long rides. My 2c!

  • yeah i hear ya! I am cutting the bars down to maybe like 720mm. I used to do a lot of long rides on this with the drop bar setup, I’m putting flats/risers on with shorter rides in mind, but who knows, if I start doing long multi day trips again maybe I’ll swap for some more appropriate ‘alt-bar’ or put some of those funky SQlab inner bar ends on here or something. We’ll see how we go. I’m mostly just doing this to get me excited to ride again.
