And, the shakedown ride! Everything worked well, other than the stem coming loose, and a brake pad slipping down it's post. No crashes, despite the winter slickeriness. Overall a great ride. The IRD forks are not exactly stiff, so that took some getting used to lol...
I’m so incredibly jealous of this bike! It’s absolutely gorgeous in every way. My holy grail bike right there. Congratulations on a great job too with the parts selection. It’s all spot on
