Rode it around in its previous set up for a while, wanted to try the drop bars and the other saddle so just completed the swap and ridden it across town to work and back.
Simple Dia-Compe 204 levers and plain black cotton tape. Between the non-cushioned tape and the lack of a sprung saddle it’s pretty unforgiving, so I think I’ll switch back to the Brooks and let some air out of the inner tubes.
Yet to take it out for a proper ride but excited to try out the new riding position.

Not the prettiest bike but good fun.
