This is my Peloton, partly njs (except for the handlebar and wheels). Rides like a dream. Can't think of anything that will make it ride better. Original build had a nitto drop bar, but I liked the B259 better for handling. I mainly use the bike for city rides, and occasionally longer rides. I'm planning on taking this bike to the track. Then it's going have a smaller ratio and drop bar obv.
