I like riding up in the bends when fighting a headwind, or whenever I feel like really boogying, but I was nervous about cranking hard while my hands were nowhere near the brakes. I also ditched the cork grips, which were conflicting with the black/silver color scheme that the bike's got going.

Hey Richard, I think that your F4's the same model that my father-in-law is currently using to cross the continent. He left Seattle almost two months ago, and is now within 300 miles of DC. He loves the ride.
