Since the 165x35° stem felt kinda awkward, I mounted a 150x35° one and now it's time for business. It feels very good now and the wether is getting better as well...

So I went out today to do some procrastinating as I got an exam next week and should've been studying for it. Well yesterday I mounted an 165x35° stem and it feels so much better on the rear wheel. The only downside is that pedal ups and those kind of moves feel a little awkward. I guess I will either have to get used to the different setup, or get yet another stem. It's too soon to make any predictions as I haven't got any time to really practice and make up my mind. 

I also took a picture of the new setup/bike. Feels so much better than the green one I had before and is lighter as well, even though still very heavy compared to other bikes I know from the forums.

As I looked into my backpack I was missing the camera only to find out at home, that it was in a pocket where I usually don't put it so even though the camera was at hand, there's no video of todays riding.

After what felt like a year of no riding (it has actually been only a month) I went out again. As my wife was away I had to take my son with me. As I hoped, he fell asleep and I could do some sport. Not as much as I would've liked to but better than nothing. I found this nice little spot near my house and did what you can see in the video. The new bike feels very very good even though I will opt for a longer and steeper stem.
