Current Projects chat and miscellany

mercian with new bars and stem. stem feels too long so will have to swap it for something else.

The reach on Noodle bars is super long (even with the bit of sweep on the tops factored in). That caught me out too. The hoods end up 1.5cm - 2cm further away than with a more conventional bar.

I finally found a silver compact-shape road bar with a 26mm clamp, which I would have had on the Bob if I'd known about it (I think Ed Scoble was looking for the same thing a while back):

Pretty expensive though. I'm waiting to hear from Tokyo Fixed on whether they can bring it in on special order.
