Hey Joe,
Glad to hear the shakedown ride went so well, and that you’re really enjoying the new wheels! I love my new-to-me Atlantis, but I’m in the process of figuring out a new drop bar cockpit (current is with Bosco bars on a 110mm stem), and because of the long top tube, I’ll need a pretty short stem too. I don’t think I’ll go 0mm stem, but am looking at a 30 or 50mm stem. The ultra-short reach stem goes against everything my brain says should work, so it’s encouraging to hear that your experience is so positive after a quick initial adjustment. Did you find that the handling with the short stem was the same with or without a load on the front? ~Mark > On Mar 29, 2019, at 18:12, Joe Bernard <joerem...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Pics from today, fully bebagged. > >> On Friday, March 29, 2019 at 3:10:57 PM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: >> Update after actual semi-decent time in the saddle: It's awesome! >> >> The bars set dead level didn't work, they're in a more common dropbar >> position now and it felt great.
