I still maintain the type of bike and the type of fork and the type of handlebars and the use of the bicycle = best determine optimal placement of hands for a given handlebar/stem combo. Can it be ridden in any other configuration? = absolutely.. Is it worth trying? = why not for people so inclined?

Consider the differences: commuting within Amsterdam, maybe loaded. As opposed to motorpaced Stayer bike riding.

Love the paint with coordinated rims and the lock not my style of riding

nice patina, bit 'o history, not my style of riding
