>>1093536Thanks.
Honestly, for my normal 5 mile commute, my comfort is fine. I have a similar amount of drop on my road bike. But, anything longer than 20 miles and it does get a little tiresome. I'm waiting for a velo orange cigne stem to be back in stock, then I can hopefully ditch a few of the spacers.
>>1093580The levers are Tektro RL520's, for use with v-brakes.
I used to have a 170mm stem on there, but it only had 8° rise so I swapped it out for the current one which is 17°. The reach is more comfortable with a longer stem (I'm 6'1"). Once I've got the above stem it should level out the bars to about seat height.
I probably could have got up a frame size, but at the time I couldn't find a bravado in a large and it was going for a good price. This is my first bike build so I'm still learning and adjusting some of the components. But even as it is, it's a blast to ride and it can handle everything I've asked of it so far.
