This started out as a diamond-frame 12-speed. It now has a two-speed kick shift hub, sprung Brooks B66 and cruiser bars.

It's fun.



Handling-wise, the very wide cruiser bars are very easy to move, which makes the handling a bit twitchy. It's something I've grown used to and know to give very gentle inputs for normal riding. It makes for a pretty relaxed ride at this point.
