Built to ride with my fiancee. Honestly, it will be getting its original bars back soon, and maybe a new derailleur. I really hate how narrow these handlebars are, even though I tried to find the widest bars like this I could! Ironically, I'm posting in this thread, even though what I really want is to be posting this bike in the drop bar conversion thread Not sure how this would work out fit-wise with drop bars, though.

It looks cool, at least!
I've toyed with the idea of building up a steel MTB as a 1xX gravel-ish bike. This is a great example
