Hello
Hi all, good to be here. Bike fit generally ok, although I've changed handlebars so tweaking the fit right now. I might well end up going back to what I had!!

Morning Gary - riding a Basso Astra road bike - bought through Crafted Cycles - Although the bike largely feels right, there's something about the reach not quite working for me - so trying some bars with shorter dimensions.

Yes these are pretty short, they are the SWorks shallow bar, BUT I'm thinking the reach might be too near now!!🙃 Essnetially, when Alex built the bike I decided to use a pair of Easton carbon bars I already had instead of the bars that come with the Basso - the reach being a little longer than the Basso ones. Hence why I'm now tinkering, as the Easton bars didn't feel right and so I thought of the SWorks. Should've just gone with the heavier Basso stock bars maybe.

I ride both gravel and road. I've ridden in Sri Lanka, Norway, Sweden, Spain, France, and of course UK. A climber at heart, low gearing is my jam.
