Been playing with fit a little. Very slightly lowered the saddle and unslammed dat stem a little and the slightly less extreme position is a lot more comfortable.
Pondering what to do with my track drops now. I'm thinking B125AA on a Nitto Jaguar (part of me is saying to get the Pearl instead, but I love the form of the Jaguar and I think with 125s the drop won't be crazy).
I run a 100mm stem now with the horns and the reach is about right. With track drops should I get a shorter or longer stem (especially considering the stem also has some drop)?
Also debating what to do about grips. I think I'll get some nice tape (maybe the Toshi leather stuff) and wrap them entirely, which will also make sense with a cross brake lever by the stem. Suggestions on other approaches or recommended classy tape (Fizik Dual is also a possibility - looks almost leather-like and it's comfy on my horns) appreciated.
Aside from NJS wheels (and at that time a nicer cog and lockring), this should be all built up next Tuesday. Quite excited!
