Hi Ash,
Congratulations!
I am also considering getting one.
I am currently using an older 51 Atlantis with Albatross bars.
But I felt the cockpit too cramp even though I am using a 13cm Nitto stem.

Hi Patrick,

But I did not notice any play during that short ride.
Will check my pair and give feedback.

Hi Geeter,
Sorry to hear that you have to go thru surgery because of your disc
