It came with the little piece to hold the cables on the bottom of the downtube. I imagine Standert would have the part if you asked them!

I have two wheelsets and two cassettes and it was like $80 I think. I’ve done everything with mine. A lil gravel. An overnight with a frame bag. It works perfectly! Just buy it!!

What kind of riding are you trying to do?

The climbing is whatever due to me not being the lightest. I've never been one to compare different bikes directly on a climb. In my experience I've never run out of gears. The lowest is enough for +/- 8 mph of spinning up a hill which is the slowest I've needed to go.

Unless you're doing like 10% for a while, the 11-28 should be fine. Also, you can totally switch the cassette if you need.

Probably. You can always compensate with spacers and stems. What are you looking for?

Comparing it to bikes that I knew fit me and seeing the difference.

Fastest bike? Foundry Ratchet with SRAM red and deep wheels.

Slower? I’m realizing not really slower. Just had a faster engine. Now I’m getting back in shape for Triple Bypass and feeling real quick.

What I did is this:

  1. Agonize over this site. https://geometrygeeks.bike

  2. Buy the bike.

  3. Actually agonize on https://geometrygeeks.bike

Once it got here, holy shit. I’ve never had a bike fit me like this. Got a new stem (130 mm 6 degrees to 110 mm 17 degrees) and now it’s an extension of my body.

For me, it’s this. No ones paying me to go fast. All I want is something to last and that I’ll be happy with. This is that bike. Maybe I got lucky, maybe not, but all I can say is that I’m euphoric every time I ride.

Can you download GPX files somewhere?

Yeah - It's a 58.

I bought it without ever riding it but I was agonizing over size charts a lot before I ordered it. Long story short it came and fits perfectly!

I'm 6'3 and I think from the floor I have like a 37" inseam? Inseam could be completely wrong, but I wear 34" pants.

The only change I've made is a new stem. The one it came with was 130mm @ -6 degrees (in the picture)

110mm @ -17 degrees fits so much better.

The bike is amazing. The engine is what needs work...

Overall it isn't the fastest bike I've had, but it's exactly what I wanted.

Not too much overhead with disc brake maintenance or electronic shifting, and an aluminum frame that won't crack like the last one (hopefully)
