    Hello from Fort Lauderdale!

    thank you very much! I cannot take any credit for the build. I just bought it in its current configuration. coming from a super73 ebike to this has been an adjustment. i didnt notice anything like that but i am used to leaning more forward (which is a must with the ape-hangers this bike has as...
