Since I love the Metropolis handlebars on my Kona so much I found some black ones for my Sawyer.
I didn't think going from 25 degree backsweep to 45 degrees would make such a difference but it sure did!
A while back I ditched the front derailer but just got a new 36t chainring.
I hope to leave it alone now until they improve the Alfine 11 speed.
