Fixed integrated bars. No rotation.
It’s not finished. I’ll do the fit this weekend.
I’ll try and slam it but I’m very short and it won’t be comfortable.

Had my first ride today and put all the spacers above the bars. Might be slamming after all.
Had to take and inch off the seat post too so may have compensated somewhat.
I hit some serous speed but the cross winds are a killer on a light bike.

What’s a road plus bike?
I already own a Giant Contend SL for commute.
This is my sunny days bike.

Cheers Flasket.
Do a lot of off road on my giant. Never had a problem unless it’s deep mud.
My Conti 4 seasons have never had a puncture either, unbelievable really.
Still experimenting with fit on the custom build. Almost there now. Seat forward. Hoods up. Almost comfortable now.
Went out again yesterday in 15mph wind and nearly got blown into the canal!
This is a windless, sunny day bike. Got 50mm carbon clinchers on the way too so it’s only going to get worse in the wind.
It’s very twitchy at low speed even without wind. Totally fine over 15mph though.
Is this a short wheel base normal behaviour?

How important is toe overlap? I'm a midget fuker, and currently ride on 650c wheels.
Looking for the next bike, and wondering whether wheel size is a big deal?

Think I'll do a Surly Steamroller in a month or two. Thanks for the recommend Flasket.

Anyone got recommendations for phone mounts? Been told the Quad Lock is sturdy, but don't want to permanently stick that grip on the back of my phone (non-iPhone).

Anyone got a recommendation for a sub £700 mountain bike? Any good setups out there?
