plus, if you could add some Big Apples and some red wine, you'd end up with sangria.
Haha!!
how is the heel strike, must not be an issue if you ride it. Hows the handling with the two ortliebs on the back?
nice looking bike btw, makes my neck hurt just looking at the drop and the reach, but looks great.
This is my make shift rig for this year. I'm really hoping to have a dedicated less flashy bike for touring next year, I always worry when I lock this bike up anywhere. I have been on many many long non loaded rides with that seat/drop ratio so it didn't take much of a adjustment when I threw the gear on, a bonus is shes still fast
Heel strike is surprisingly a non issue even with 175mm cranks and a size 12 1/2 shoe (<----Clydesdale
). I am absolutely in LOVE these Ortliebs, they stick to the rack like glue so even at 25-30mph she is still very nimble, I imaging that the narrow top of my rack helps by centering the weight.
