Bars on and wrapped. They feel really good and not excessively wide. Bike all re-cabled. Just need to cut the cables. Thinking of swapping the wheels out for narrower rims* though so I’ll do that before I cut anything. Also have to reinstall the front rack and steal the Wald basket from my pub bike (because I don’t see myself going to the pub any time soon).
*because this is an older frame, wider rims like the H+Son’s give the brakes less mechanical advantage and poor braking. I’m hoping going from 23mm wide to 19mm make a difference. I was using the 19mm rims on here originally and the braking was a lot better.
