Will you actually ride offroad or just use it as a commuter?

Offroad all the way :) but there is also a plan for a gravel conversion. The straight fork and its geometry make it rigid but overall is very precise and steady, I do love it.

Definitely recommend throwing on a pair of odyssey twisted PC in swirl or splatter... could really add that extra 80's style

I thought of some kind of bmx bear trap pedals but now you say it, odyssey would be a good option too, thanks.
