Good for you! A bike that fits is pure gold. And, hey, a steel bike, to boot. Steel is, and always will be, my favorite.
That's a gorgeous steed -- I love the color! You have it set up like I have both my roadies now, with the handlebars higher than the saddle. It's the only way I can ride comfortably these days on the road.
ENJOY!

Yes. It's the 2016 Rove. It wasn't even on my radar. I was looking at steel touring bikes. It is a little lighter and shorter than the Kona Sutra. It feels quite a bit lighter than my Cross Check. I have had great luck at this LBS with my Dew and when I heard that they had a fitter... long story short... I have a new green bike!

Thanks! I love it a little bit more each day. I've never been comfortable in the drops and yesterday I realized I rode home most of the way in the drops. There was a brutal headwind for part of the ride. I didn't even notice that I didn't get right back up on the hoods as soon as I could. This is a new feeling for me. All 3 bar positions are comfy and the brakes and shift lever are accessible. They put a compact bar on and adjusted the brake reach. The tires are perfect for commuting. And steel.... so smooth...
