This is exactly what I did in the early 1990’s - an aluminum 105 version of a high-end road bike. The day I bought it, I told the shop owner I would come back after I put 5,000 miles on it to order...

Luaf is 2x compatible. Remove the bottle opener to install the front derailleur hanger. It does need to be wireless (SRAM), which limits the size of the rear tire to 40mm due to the SRAM battery.

I’ve been running Gravel King 700x38 slicks all year for my mixed surface rides (I use Gravel King SK 38 for full gravel). The only issue I had was when I picked up a roofing nail. I couldn’t get it...

As others have mentioned, fit (and width) is a personal thing. I have ridden the Aliante and I find it too wide. I have also found that “for me” I prefer a flat saddle, as it allows me to move around...

Also, many MTB helmets come a bit farther down the back of the head, for protection. In the more upright position of a flat bar bike, this isn't an issue. However, with the lower position of a drop...

I'm a 32"-33" waist. I am a Large in Castelli Free Aeros (and they are a little tight). I bought the Rapha Cargo in Medium and they are perfect.
