Lots of straddle cable on your bike. I remade the straddle cables on mine and made them about the same length as the originals--they're about half as long, but the brakes work well. I'm not real sure on the science of optimizing those lengths. Mine has the original levers -- non-aero. Maybe they don't pull as much cable.
Pretty bike. Very pretty.
Thanks! I was floored to come across it. Its in shockingly good condition. It’s been ridden some, but I think it mostly sat. Not a scratch on the paint!
The fenders are actually Planet Bike Cascadia, and they’re aluminum. They have a crease that matches the rims!
