After 2 decades of bmx’ing (mostly flatland) and every day commuting by my 10 years MTB, finally i assembled my first dropbar bike.
I intentionally used all carbon parts from Aliexpress to give them a try.
Rode only 200km (i finished assemling coupe of days ago) so far. First impressions – extremely pleasant. The only thing – have to get used to dropbar.
