>>1546178I also think some modern flat pedals if you insist on flat pedals would be a huge quality of life improvement
it is really a gorgeous bike
but really anon road bikes are comfortable for -riding- on. your pedalling effort supports your body. If you're just cruising around they aren't great.
like you'll find if you're actually putting in enough watts pedalling you might even be pulling up on the bars rather than bearing down on them
