bolchuk on June 2, 2024 8:13 am got it in spring, just put on a new saddle and grips and 700×45 tires, frame and fork have good clearance, think 50mm tires should fit too. thinking about doing a drop bar conversion with bar end shifters next, as i like the different hand positions on longer rides
soedirman45 on June 2, 2024 8:34 am That bike has a very long top tube. So normally you would have to go down a size, or use a very short stem and short reach handlebar. So it really depends on how the bike fits you, fit just enough? Than it will be too long.

Due_Ad8720 on June 2, 2024 9:27 am Does it feel to short? If so drop bars are a good option, if it fits well now/feels to long they are a horrible option
