Had it for a few days already but finally got around to taking a decent picture.

Oooh! I just spent an hour today looking at this bike. Seems very nice.

How do you like the bars? The drops seem very tight, no?

Is it as comfy as it looks overall?

Congratulations!

The drops are just slightly flared. So far it’s been fine. I haven’t done any really technical descents yet, though.

Beautiful bike, only thing that ruins it for me are those tan sidewalls but that is personal preference and the dork disc on the rear wheel.

A set of Panaracer gravel kings would make it chefs kiss

I’m not a fan of the tan sidewalls but I’m going to use them as long as they last. The dork disc really sucks, that’s definitely coming off soon.

I did the same with my (now not so new) bike. I got the tan sidewalls with it and I wasn’t going to waste perfectly good tyres. They grew on me slightly but I recently needed to replace them and went for all black and I am in love with the new look it has given the bike!

Exceptional bike either way!

Good thing they put it in the correct gear for the photo, otherwise you’d be complaining about the chain not being parallel.

Oh so I can’t express an opinion about what are my personally preferences on what is an otherwise beautiful bike? Things that OP apparently agrees with based on their response.

It is called having a conversation which is generally the basis of interacting with people here.

Sure you can, just like I can leave a comment that insinuates how much of a dick I think you are as a result of said comment.

You didn’t really “express an opinion” as much as you said their bike is “ruined” because of a minor detail that they had no choice in.

I’m sure you’re a reasonable person, I just read the comment and was disappointed in it. Maybe it could have been worded better. We’ve all been there.
