My ex-crockett now lives in Surrey and has gears

on the wide bars debate, what is considered wide? 44cm?

.

Wider than 44 c-c

thanks

Depend on person.

Like a 52cm/small bike having 42cm bar = wide, as 40cm is typical on that sizes.

would like to see an english geo small bike with a crust shaka bar

Would be confused as to which is the main direction of the bike

44cm is still a normal road bar for some.

the direction is "bacs transfer straight to Mrs B Ikemans"

i love that, pinion with shimano shifters, how?!

too good

They've bodged it with a gripshifter on the right hand drop

Currently the best drop option is from Cinq

And non Shimano calipers, all the whys in one horror.

What do you mean how? Look at the bar.

@PhilDAS keeps banging on about those Hope RX4

RX4s are the only good things on that shitshow

Yeah, they're good, but it's just a bit weird to mix all the things. If you've got to use the stupid gripshift and want rx4s they'd probably work fine with some hylex levers, although then just use hylex rather that pay for a load of shifter gubbins you're never intending to use and pricey calipers.

Wobbly brake levers and when you want to shift you slip off the bars.
I don't see the problem.

Who on here did that mtb levers become drop bar levers bodge? That made more sense.

Live, Love, Lauf.

Sadly, that's not a lauf.
