I'm trying to recondition my butt, the longest ride so far is 12 miles. Can't really say too much about how it handles because my riding isn't what it used to be. I started riding a Raleigh Three speed at 12, later on had a Bianchi Road bike and always felt at one with a bike. Now I feel at three with it.
I know how to fit a road bike but am trying to find recommendations for fitting this. I've got seat height, tilt, and horizontal position down but am not certain that the handlebars couldn't be adjusted better.
Read this with interest. I'm the same age, so far still finding ways to mount/dismount my Trek DS and a gravel bike.. but just barely. I'll be looking into one of these in the not too distant future.
