"many days I will take my 650B converted Road Standard" Yes, this is a
great combo. I did the same to my pre production sample Road and love it as
a 650B. Hope you take the time needed to heal fully and enjoy perusing
bike parts catalogs as you consider handlebar options. Salsa Woodchippers?
I've been riding Selle Anatomica saddles since Riv started selling them
(they don't at present) many years ago. I prefer the original design for
comfort but the current one works well too, and perhaps gives more use
before replacement of the leather top.
