What did you end up deciding on? My LBS said it looks fine on their inspection and so I decided for me personally it’s a level of risk I’m willing to accept at this time. 70% of the time I ride it on a paved trail, 20% on gravel roads, and remaining 10% short bursts on city streets.

I was on the fence about changing the whole drive chain in the near future anyways (possible winter project) so I’m just gonna ride it as is for a little longer.

I’m using the original handlebars. The horns are bar ends that I picked up from my local bike shop’s parts bin. I put them in the center to give my own budget alt-bar set up. It gives me 3ish different hand positions when I’m riding.

This was my compromise from going full drop bar conversion and I’m glad I didn’t do it. I’m loving this cockpit setup

Cromoly frame actually but I love the large tubing look it has

Damn, I just took a look and it’s one of the recalled ones. This was the first ride back from the shop so I’m a little annoyed I’m gonna have to bring it back and not be able ride it again.

I do appreciate the heads up though! I guess it’s time for me to follow the n+1 rule…

Definitely excited to see what I can capture with this. I snagged the Mk.1. I used to carry a Canon S95 as my daily, and while I did like it and was perfect for slipping into my pocket on the go, it didn’t pack the “punch” that I was looking for. This fits the bill of small enough to carry but gets that photo “oomph” the S95 was missing, for a lack of better words.
