nauseated
Finally riding a big boys bike
I bought a used 1 speed mountain bike. So far, I lost the huge knobby 2.8" tires, replaced them with lightweight folding touring tires 1.9", huge improvement. I also lost the original black steel super wide bars and dorky stem, and installed a silver polished 'shred neck" and alloy BMX bars.
Also way betta. At least 6" narrower on Each side ! Needed a set back type seat post so I went silver there too. Now my femurs fit. Bike had all black parts as I got it, too much black IMHO. Wheels are OK, gear is too low so I plan to change the chainring. it's like a big BMX bike that's got a long top tube for someone 6'3". Pretty light too, quiet and smooth. I'll cut the excess steering tube off soon. First newish bike I've acquired in 30 years. Molteni orange too.
