Current Projects chat and miscellany

Might not be to everyone's taste - not sure it's even to mine at the moment - but I made a couple of changes to my Raleigh this afternoon.

After last week's brokenhandlebargate I was using track bars and thinking about getting some new old-fashioned bars, but decided bullhorns might be more comfortable. Today I chopped and flopped the bars, and it is much better.

Minor niggles now are that the bar tape and the seat don't match as well as my old grips did, and that the new Goldfinger lever (cheers Plastic Pedals) is a different gold to the rest of the shiny bits.

It feels nice though

tommmmmmm. No disrespect but if there is one thing which gets my goat is when I see a brake lever saluting high into the air. It should be angled to follow the line of your arm. Apologies in advance if your wrist is permanently jutted up at 90 degrees and your lever is positioned so in order to compensate for this...
