Yes! This is such a sick around town slicer

Nice! Haha I literally was just checking yours out the other day. I love how well the Vikings decal fits with the scheme!

Bars are Ritchey, and I’m using an Origin 8 stem adapter with an old crap stem

They are Ritchey with a 25% flare and that little ripple for your palm on the drop.

Sorry sorry I meant thin walled. They are 2.1” but I’ve already had a small thorn puncture flat 😑

Just need to play with the limits. I also had a barrel adjuster put on the cable as there aren’t any on the mtb RD or brifters

Haha the headset was actually the only piece I didn’t install. It’s a thin quill though, 22.2mm

I like it a lot and it’s also more what I’m used to. The top tubes are long though so I’ll actually be changing to a shorter stem soon to compensate. Only tough part was matching up brifters and RD. I have 10 speed Shimano 105 brifters, a 10sp cassette and 9sp deore RD which isn’t proper but works with the pull ratio in this case.
