Glad I didn’t go for the low bars, they’d have been a good inch lower than the saddle (I’m 5’5″)
The curvy M bars are a nuisance to fix anything on to though. GPS fitted just about OK, but having trouble finding space for the little cowbell I use to warn pedestrians in shared areas 🙂
Couldn’t fit any of my other saddles (Turbo, Contour), the Pentaclip doesn’t play nicely with deep skirted saddles. The stock saddle is OK though, if a tad too soft and sculpted for my taste.
The bike is far better over bumps and rough ground than I expected. Slightly faster than my previous ‘big’ bike too 👍
The Fahrer Berlin basket is brilliant, room for everything, even a full 24l Camper Longflap and a couple of frozen pizzas (if a bit of a pig to fit to the luggage block on occasion)
Got used to the gearing fast, lever out to switch down, lever in to switch up.
