Nice. A little tip regarding the midge bars. They take silly amounts of dialling in before you reach nirvana, so wait before taping.
After retaping umpteen times I finally got mine perfect (for me at least). I found turning the brake hoods inwards gave a massive area to rest your hands when 'cruising-on-the-hoods', and a good 'in-the-drops-fingers-on-brakes' position for control (great on trails). The thicker tape on the end shifters allows for a comfortable lower cruising position for windy days.
Enjoy ;)
