Frame’s a little small for me, but it’s pretty enough that I’ll deal with it. It’s also geared a little high for the hilly area around here (34/16t), so I’m probably going to swap out the 16t for a 20t and I think it’ll be good.
But, she rides great and is so pretty.

This is so good. I’ve been tempted a few times to get one of those Farr stems as I love the old school bull moose stems. Hope you ride the snot out of it!
It looks great. But, it also looks two sizes too small
