You've got plenty of low gears. 650b?
Post a component list for the curious among us - and some impressions of ride quality.
Enjoy!
I had cut a good bit off the steerer, but kept it a little long to play it safe. I haven't decided if I will cut off more for cosmetics. I wanted a paint matching steel fork over carbon, which limited my bike options. It did add quite a bit of weight to the overall bike, but I have no issues riding with it. It seems to smooth out the road quite a bit, but I don't know how it would compare to the carbon fork.
I tend to ride toward steep climbs, so I put on the gears to do this. Plus it helps keeps me riding with a hurt knee as I can spin up climbs.
I edited the photo post and included the build list.
