Pics do no justice but these are from Day 3...
Agreed—very visually impactful. Having owned a MF Campus, one must be careful about its emphasis on the shoulder-forward cut. It feels like you are forced perpetually into riding a cafe bike... when you’re not riding. Pulling your elbows (much more pronounced with shoulders) back feels like...
