disc brakes - hydraulic even, a first
more than 29cogs, on a road bike, a first
no skinny frame tubes, first
room for 40mm tires, first on a road/gravel drop bar bike
e-bike, first
batteries, first

but ... even with nothing on the bars & stem I'm not sure my mantra is still valid:
clear your handlebars and your mind will follow

After 35+ adult years of active cycling = a little new is inevitable for a 70+ cyclist who still wants to crank it on, sometimes.
Besides I'm worth it and always ready for a charge.


Initial ride = 100% success.
