^ "It's interesting and quite heartening to see so many of you on higher bars on your " one bike". I assumed I was in quite a minority.....and most would still be on a more level/ dropped bar."
Presumably says something about the group demographics!
@Ren Rawbor "not only you is right. I'm only 43 so a mere nipper compared to many but my body's getting very much to the point where backswept/high risers are enticing."
Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you'll have to adapt gradually to get through the next 32 years!
Changed to drops yesterday, so faced the slight drizzle. Nothing failed on 26 miles trail-test, so it'll do, although will stick a 9 spd on back to match the indexing. Why would one not have front bounce on a "gravel bike"?
