I would not select a long cage derailleur, they are very close to the ground.

I’ve fitted the stem extender which really helps the fit and calms down the twitchy steering.

If I see a Tern Andros stem at a reasonable price at some point then I will replace what’s on there with that.

The AliExpress rear rack is on, after quite a bit of fettling and bending of tubes.

I have also swapped in a cheap but v comfortable gel saddle.

It’s a cracking little bike now!

Probably not a good thing to say about a Tern.
