Getting experiMENTAL with the Esker Japhy - Reviewing my Modified Japhy

How does my experiMENTAL Japhy ride now? I've changed the bars, seat post, seat angle, wheels, and a few other things. These modifications dropped the weight down to 30.4 lbs. Not bad! Esker has some noteworthy features packed into the Japhy: quad butted tubing, slack head angle, external cable routing, modern reach, mounts for a ton of bags, adjustable chainstays (able to go singlepseed), room for 29+ (on paper), and a great price. Note: the price has increased since the date this video was filmed. For the latest price, build, availability, and information, go here: https://bit.ly/3uus9lu.
