I bought it in the straight bar initial setup and changed a bunch of stuff. 19" frame in Black Cherry. I love the color and the guy who had it before me already had it in that setup and a drop bar setup. Seeing it both ways made me decide to go drop bar gravel with it.

It got up pretty easy but I really wanted to run it with drops bars instead.

Hey, absolutely love your bike, great work! Just reviving this as I am about to pick up this same frame/fork. Wondering, how the heck did you manage to keep the original fork, but convert to a threadless headset/stem with spacers?
Thanks!
