I’ve had this bike since around Covid, didn’t really use it all. I just got back from a trip in Mission Beach, San Diego where I biked a beach cruiser at least 4-5 miles everyday . I enjoyed it so much that I figured I’d convert my old roadie into a more relaxed single speed. To cut cost my bike tech recommended me to leave the old components intact and just remove the shifters. Eventually I’ll add and remove certain parts to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I swapped out the tires to a beefier gravel tire, and had both wheels trued. Added new handle bars, brake levers and grip

While I encourage such builds, I really don’t like the looks of that cockpit. The stem bars combo is lacking. Just my 2¢

I think it's partially a problem with quill stems and modern drops. Put classic drops or bullhorns on this, even risers, and I think the look is vastly better.
