Checked the weather before bed and got my stuff organized accordingly. The weather channel website predicted mid to high 30's F and clear.
It felt chillier than that as I walked to the old garage behind the house. Once I warmed up I felt fine. Checked the weather at work: 28F. No wonder.

The more time I spend on my Vesta the more I am convinced that I will have a custom fitting done, have a frame made to my specs, and transfer what I can from the Vesta. The bike is just...... awkward. Despite the ridiculously long top tube for a frame that is admittedly too small for me (the largest they offered) - 63cm ETT for a 22" frame - I still feel like an unexpected bump will take me down. I do not feel balanced at all, and I've tried 4 different stems and as many different handlebars.
It's just a bad fit for me.
