I think that is would be worth your while to to trek from the east bay. the mechanic (Tahn) has been my go to guy for years when I am out of time or have screwed something up. They stock Rivendell, Jones and such
here is an example of something they did.... MTB to city bike
That looks super fun!
I ended up taking the super upgrade path! I am working on a custom frame build. I debated back and forth on stock frame or not.
Got my parts finalized and deposit down! Hope to be riding it in June.
I did a fitting, and am planning custom front and rear racks. Super excited about my build!
It was actually the fitting that pushed me over to custom frame. The process and seeing my measurements really solidified why I have been having such fit struggles in the stock bike sizes.
