Mine is doing SS duty in NAM. 

But currently running it rigid with a Niner RDO fork.

I like the brooks saddle on a unique machine

I have also contemplated going drop bars, but my lower back has some issues and I am scared that the reach and drop might be to long and low to be  comfortable in looooong rides.

Yes you will need a very short stem....

I think it's something you need to decide on before buying the bike. Drop bar = smaller frame, normal bar = larger frame. That's my thinking anyway, don't know how much validity there is to it.

Yes I agree. The reach as is is max for me. Still need to do the setup, but still. My thinking is I can have another bike every season. Come winter, flat bar MTB, Come summer, gravel and road....

And the 2.3 tires will be on the whole time, just cockpit changes

and breaks

and gear shifters.

It seems that here are only 2 hub members with contrabands....

I built and owned a few Contrabands and they get my vote as "underrated product".

 

They are well made well priced frames that should fly off the shelves. Lack of marketing let it down!
