Not to be too critical but, I hope having that old PIVO stem up so high doesn't cause problems for you.
It's looks a bit scary, to me.
Nice bike.
Eep, yeah, I was worried I set the stem a lil' too high. I'll lower it a few cm for the peace of mind.
As for the levers, it's comfortable on this bar to have my hands gripping the outside of the bar, rather than on top. So the levers line up nicely with m'fingers. Also, yeah, if I have my hands resting on top of the bar, kinda on the brake "hoods" too, thumb-braking could be an option for a gentle slowdown.
And thank you for the feedback!
