Fantastic, both the bike and the writeup. Thank you for keeping us entertained!

Instead of going for a whole new cockpit at once, I decided to give the old XLC drops a go with the current 100 mm stem. Bit stretchy but it seems ok after a quick test.
So, this bar has a very weird shape, 69 mm reach, 5° backsweep, and a reaaaally long flat section at the bottom. I used to hit the shifters with my knees regularly when pedalling out of the saddle. Prevention method: hacksaw.All I need are brake levers to finish this, but I believe they will have to wait until next month.

Oh man, that's an amazing find, lovely! I'm also keeping an eye out on RIH frames/bikes, but they usually get sold in less than 5 mintues after the listing appears on Marktplaats...

Awesome, both the writeup of your adventure and the bike itself! I love coming back to this thread with each update.

I'll try to learn the language by then, count me in anyways.

Might not be as stiff or light, but it looks better than any modern carbon thingy imho. Fantastic bike mate.

Sequoias are a nice choice, very elegant. Looks great already!

I'd need something wider with more backsweep for maximum comfort, but they do the job for now. -
Ta, me too!
