I have to say, I'm not sure I'm too comfortable on the Choco norms yet either.. when I got on my mixte they still felt too far back and the front felt a little twitchy. Mixte is also quite a bit more upright than I'm used to.I am a long-time moustache bar rider...stem level with saddle , back at 45 degree angle or so but I can flatten my back a little more if I need to on my other bikes
Think I have to just give myself some time to get used to them; the mixte is a very different kind of a horse and I feel sure all will be good On Friday, May 5, 2017 at 10:23:34 AM UTC-5, Chris Birkenmaier wrote: > > I am the proud new owner of a 2017 Appaloosa in silver.
