That looks perfect, IMHO. If I had to change one thing on that bike, I would make the frame violet (my favourite colour (hey, don't judge me, I've always liked it)). Other than that, everything, including the handlebar, is just perfect.

As for me, I'm having increasing problems sitting after about 8-10 km of cycling. It's nothing terrible, but it's steadily increasing as an issue. Before you mention it: I've tried practically everything that involves padding, seat adjustment and body position, cycling pants and underpants. I've been doing this cycling stuff a long time now.

But regardless, what brings you into the geared world? Though, IIRC, you already had a geared bike or two back when we last chatted.
