Have been riding with the new 153mm crankset for about a week now. Installing them was a piece of cake and didn't take long. Since the crankarms are shorter, I needed to move the seat backwards an inch (more or less). No problem either, since my frame size is an XL. Still haven't found my sweet spot, I still need to adjust the seat a little bit more. What is a problem though, is that the handle bars cannot be extended anymore. The grip tubes were already at maximum reach and cannot be adjusted in length anymore. Rans has recently announced that the XP will be available in 4 different framesizes (from S to XXL), but they all use the same chopper bars, which makes me wonder .... If they would make grip tubes with different lengths, now that would be something different, but .... Think I'm gonna send Rans a mail about this and see what they think of it.

Today was a beautiful day for riding a bike : blue skies all over and a little wind. Took a ride besides the canal and saw a strange very narrow boat that was docked near the side. Haven't seen anything like it before but it looked very cute. A little over 1300 miles so far ....
