My hybrid/commuter/tourer bike looks tiny but it still feels so big. Its the first OTP ive bought since I was 16. Spent quite a lot on it and bought odds n ends like rack & 'guards. But I just can't get on with it.
Geometry feels weird, effective TT feels super long despite it being small size. Got toe overlap, Seat feels way too far back even with an inline seatpost, big is super stiff which rattles bones and guards/panniers. Drop bar brake levers dont really work with the discs.
This bike is dissapointing, but it looks pretty cool in a utilitarian way. Thinking of putting my nitto promenade bars on it, will probably look daft but I would be able to use MTB shifters & levers which might work better.
