it's my 2021 Fuji Feather! my first not-secondhand bike I bought from Cycle Smithy (RIP).
this thing rips. 44:16 ratio which is just in the sweet spot for powering through harsh winds without spinning out going downhill. swapped the saddle, pedals, chainring and bars and the rest is stock.
I'm still not sure if I should go for riser bars since I've been enjoying a more upright position but the quill stem is 25.4mm (does that sound right?) and my parts bin is all ≥26mm or drops.
at any rate, hello! I'm looking forward to getting this place up and running and moving from r/chibike to c/chibike. with the death of 3rd party Reddit apps this weekend I'll probably try to get people on here.
hello! I'm a non-binary Chicago-based cyclist, film photographer, 3d artist, and open source contributor when I get the time.
slowly getting my bearings out here in the fediverse; like many others I am yet another longtime Reddit refugee. stoked for Sync for Lemmy soon—that'll feel like I've officially switched over.
