That is such a lovely looking bike. Good luck with your ride and do let us all know how you get on. What is that hanging from the bars?

Great bike, been hit by N+1 syndrome again!  have you weighed it?  I was also wondering about the red thing on the bars. Is it one of those fit bit watch things?  How do you find it?

It's just fitted this week. Adjusting it for a few rides to get the optimum position.
Yes.....it's a brilliant saddle. Plenty of sit bone real estate. Nice and stiff. I had a Swift but it hammocks out terribly. I'll put it back on my Disc Trucker for touring.
