Cheers Marty!
I didn’t even run drop bars on my last couple of pavement pounders, I don’t like braking on the hoods, I don’t like braking in the drops, and etc. I have multiple hand positions (end of grips, on grips, inside grips) and if I needed more I could handle some inner bar-ends.
Built a gravel-commuter for the Clairebarian as well. We can’t ride all the way to school but we’re going to start doing 50/50 school trips. It’s something she can lock there (versus her mountain bike) and we’re going to do a bunch of exploring when it warms up. Trying to avoid riding with cars but still get the full cycling experience.
Looking forward to Cooper’s next piece too. Going to fun to gravel/commuter up NSMB a bit.
