Sorry for bringing up painful memories, but what was the full story with your crash? Your rack fell forward into the front wheel and you went over the bars, or did you slam your face on the bars (hence the pink thing)? The frame just got bent in the aftermath, I suppose?
Gonna be great anyway! Respray or keeping it the same?

I was just joking about the pink thing, i'll keep the orange as there is nothing wrong with it. It'll look nice with all black bits I think.

Would love some of those Stooge but the price is a bit much atm, maybe in the future. I may very well take you up on those bars, how wide are they?
I was looking at these:

@larsenroad Fingers crossed, its a shame most of those bars are silver or not 31.8mm :( I wish they had these:
@umop3pisdn silver :(
Whatever bars I get I should absolutely get one of these:
