Ed, i reckon the drops look amazing! Your bike is a carbon copy of my cousins. Stripped pista, black h+, bullhorns... looks great.

How do you find those drop bullhorns though? I have them on my bike and when pulling away on the horns they are really good, but i find they make my wrists sore when im riding on the angled part of the bar. I cant really hold on teh horizontal part due to brakes etc. I think i need something more practical. Hero factor is important though...

I love how the drop looks more than the bullhorn drop, a bit of a shame but meh.

the drop bullhorn isn´t really practical at first especially the horizontal part being quite narrow as you´ve mentioned but I got over that after getting used to it. Usually I go brakeless but I want to keep a brake on for insurance/law purpose (i.e. if a taxi hit me and it´s his fault, the police can easily throw the book at me for not having at least 2 working brakes).

I normally ride holding the horn part all day, but it´s a bit too far away due to the long stem (thought it is a beautiful Nitto stem), it´s pretty much feel the same as being on the hood, I just need to get a shorter black Thompson stem and it should be perfect.

the bar is pointed more upward because the Nitto stem is 25.4, and the bar is 26, a bit of a bastard to put on but can´t tip it down more horizontally.
