This bike is so NICE and CLEAN!!! Funny thing, the saddle and post stayed in NYC!! right now im using my road bikes post and saddle.
another thing is im planning on using mtb clipless pedals to deal with the HUGE toe overlap, since im used to being clipped there should be no problem
What's practical about taking a bike made for the track and using?:
- MTB bars
- BMX brake lever
- Brakes
- MTB clipless pedals
The "HUGE toe overlap" is due to the 74 degree head tube angle and the 30mm raked fork...which are track racing specific.
So, basically, you are taking a race bike and making it a grocery-getter.
