Making some progress. Changed handlebars, and I like them, but I need more rise, so ordering another one. Also ordering an offset seat post. Next I need to figure out wheels, want to order some 700c wheels and tires...
I have had a couple of "Nice bike!" shoutouts while riding around ;-) On the other hand the bike guy at REI was strongly arguing against putting a lot of effort into this bike, a losing battle he said. Ugh.
Gears are not very well tuned, and I think when I do new wheels I will try fixed gear for a bit. Have been hardly shifting at all, and am fine 95% of the time.
