First ride in months and with the new Ritchey Venturemax XL 52cm handlebars and vintage Bar-Con shifters and all are temporary until new Surly Corner Bar handlebars arrive in New Zealand.
Then it’s all new Shimano XT 2×12 groupset and Paul Components Klamper Brakes.
Looking forward, but my Jones LWB Spaceframe is far better riding with a decent width of Drop-handlebar.
After all my shoulder width is 51cm.
Note: late photo is one of the many steam/mud holes about Taupo district.
