I'll probably fuck around with the setup but adding a rack and handlebar bag has made this bike one of my favorites by far. Brings me back to when I had my Fyxation frame. :,)

Great point. It was gifted to me for free so I just use it. Its mostly a town shredder and the amount of potholes with the rocks that come out can almost justify as “gravel” which is probably the most off road use this bike will see.
