Novara rack trunk
Topeak Comp 140 computer
This is my first bike with STI shifters. I love STI shifting the rear derailleur but on the front derailleur it's starting to annoy me. I may go to a bar end shifter for the front derailleur.
It's the bike I should have bought....a few months ago I was still against drop bars and now I realize I should have given them a chance
