Though I should be taking it easy after another long day, I decided to fool around with the Richey. It took only a couple of minutes to fit a set of drop bars to the bicycle. This is what I got and it feels much the same, just sitting on the bicycle. How it would feel on the road is, probably, another kettle of fish.
As I look at the bicycle, I can't help but notice how long it is. Do I like the look? Not sure but the look, for a serious rider, is not of primary importance to me. I just want a work horse that has some character.
