Well for right now I'm starting with the rigid fork and then will probably add trekking bars. I would really like add drop bars but that adds considerable expense that I don't think the wife will agree with since I just bought a new/used road bike.
My ultimate goal with my cypress is to use it as a touring bike. While it is a heavy bike, I think the cypress has perfect gearing with 91" High and 22" Low, which makes it a nice bike for climbing WV Mountains. I've also ordered a rear rack that I'll be adding as soon as it arrives.
