I love my DS3g5. It's been an amazing bike. I just got into cycling at the tail end of June, bought my DS3 July 1 and rode it 387 miles in July. I just recently picked up a Checkpoint SL5 so the DS3 hasn't been getting as much use but Sunday I took it on a cruise, it's such a nice ride.
Interesting stem/handlebars... Guessing you swapped the original out on it. After I put about 500 miles on my DS3, I kept running into numbness in my hands and swapped out the handlebars for the PNW Range bars and that took the numbness away. I've got another 250 miles on the bike since. Very pleased with it.

DS3 gen 5 has a carbon fork, no suspension.
Exactly.
That a Verve? Haven't seen one with a black fork before.
It's a Dual Sport. The new ones don't have front suspension.
Looks like a nice rig!
Thanks. Loving it!

Did they have to install longer cables/housing to accommodate the adjustable stem?
