re. components. Again not that big a priority compared to getting the bars where you want them. I transitioned from drop bars on my touring/commuter bike by the time I was 50 and carrying groceries. In the following decade I bought a long wheelbase aluminum city bike, Felt Cafe, that really surprised me how well it rode. A few year ago got a Rivindell Clem Smith that is off the charts comfy and fun for my rural locale.
