  Have u ridden lightweights? They are very nice riding wheels imo. I do sometines have them on one of my round tubed bikes. Theres plenty of bikes n riders that have great (read expensive) equipment that are very slow riders and also dont ride ti go as fast as possible. Now if u think that looks ridiculious thatd ofc fine but thats subjective at least.

  You can use a medium cage, tho a long reach would likely work better. Just make sure there is enough chain length in the setup to allow a big / big combo if you happen to shift to that at some point. What cassette gearing will u use? Some say a 29 will work with a medium cage in this setup tho i havent tried.

  You will spend a lot of time trying to get a polished finish. Refreshing a brushed frame is however only a 30m job for a frame

  Brush around the tube not length wise

  I thought russia had problems to even manufacture the high tech weapons they needed themselves in ukraine yet they are able to provide fighters and helicopters for iran?

  I dont know what to think of any military "intel" right now.

  Works okay with dropbars after a bit of getting used to as i remember it but i mostly if not exlusively ride flatbars in the winter when i wear these. Id say shifting is more finicky than breaking from what i remember.

  And i use my phone a lot as a courier so beeing able to use my fingers without taking my gloves of and on every 60 seconds is essential and a priority.
