So I bought my bike last year and after riding it the first season I decided to make some first upgrades & customizations.
Ergon SMC Sport Gel saddle - the stock one was terrible. Too narrow, uncomfortable & was creaking as if I was an elephant. The new one is sooooooo much better I can't recommend it enough. No sore butt again! 😃
Stem & handlebars - my bike came with 60mm negative stem & a flatbar. Even tough the bike is a correct size (1.78m vs L size) I felt a bit too stretched out and after approx. 15km my wrists would start to get a little numb. Also, I wanted a slightly more upright position to be able to ride comfortable with my son in KDS Pro Evo. I put the 45mm NS Quantum Lite bronze stem with a RaceFace 20mm rise gold Atlas Bar, used BURGTEC bronze top cap, screw and spacers to have a matching set. At first I was considering going safe and getting the black stem & bat but eventually decided to screw it and give my bike a bit more flair. I think it's looking not bad with sparkling gold frame.
RaceFace black chester grips with golden rings.
NS Bike alloy bronze pedals to match the rest.
Alloy badge on the headtube.
Overall I'm very pleased with how it turned out, had a first ride with my son and it was a blast.
