@pascalo
haven't been on this site for so long. wow.
Thought I'd share the stages my daily bike went through:
1) Yellow bar tape, drops: brand new from the shops
2) Sweeping back handlebars, yepp mini for front carrier, claris mtb style shifters
3) Red bar tape: And we're back to drops, this time with rack and mounting plate for yepp maxi the rear child seat
The sti nicely covered by some electrical tape, because the rubber hoods start to dissolve from the australian sun, and i also sacrificed one gear to a bolt and nut for the rack, as the mudguard eyelet had a stripped thread even though I have never mounted anything in it.
Considering upgrading to claris sti's and using a helicoil to deal with the stripped thread situation.
