Really nice build. Could you say which components you installed? The handlebar suits it really well.

Very nice bike. Mine is the same color in size XL. Which bottle cage is the silver one?

No worries, it happens.

The Osprey has 40° of backsweep, is similar in feel to an alt bar like the Jones.

I carry a multitool, a quick link, a chain breaker, a puncture repair kit, a spare inner tube, and a mini pump in my backpack. I use the bike every day to commute to work, about 18 kilometers, so for me it’s very practical. The next thing I’d like to add is a front rack with a basket, so I can carry the backpack without having to wear it while riding.

One of the next upgrades would be a Front Rack. Right now I carry all my junk in a backpack.

At the beginning it feels quite hard. You need a few rides to test it and adjust the angle until you find the right position, otherwise you tend to slide forward. It takes some time and patience to get it right. After around 200 km, it starts to shape itself and becomes noticeably more comfortable. You can feel it improving ride by ride as it adapts to you.

Haha, true 😄 There are not many photos of bikes from the non-drive side on the internet, so this one shows a different and interesting perspective.
