When the OnTheRoad 4.0 was completely assembled 🖱️ (for the first time) it was time for the very first testride.
Everything had to be checked for correct assembly, adjustment and functioning.
All parts were still unpainted so this was the moment to make the (very) final decisions.
Special care was taken to determine the correct height of the seatpost.
This was critical since only the unpainted part of the seatpost will fit in the frametube.
So the correct height was marked with a scratch.
Also the width of the handlebar had to be checked for correct seating- and ridingposition.
Then, as with a seatpost, screw-on type handlebargrips are fairly difficult to slide
over a painted handlebar.
So the correct innerposition and outerposition of the grips were also marked with a scratch.
Back home I shortened the handlebar at those outer scratches. That evening I celebrated the succes of the testride with a glass of whisky and (then) decided about the colors the bike should have 😉.
The next day, the 16th of march 2017, the OnTheRoad 4.0 🥇 was born 🖱️.
