Haha. Yeah it's the Kashimax frame protector. It does actually serve a purpose for me as well as looking neat - I live in a third floor apartment with no elevator and my bike lives in here with me. If the bars swing around while I'm carrying it up or down, they won't dent the frame (probably wouldn't anyway though) and it muffles the noise too (I ride a lot at night and don't want to be a total jackass).
My bullhorns can hit the top tube but it'll look even better when the drops go on next week.
I run a 100mm stem now with the horns and the reach is about right. With track drops should I get a shorter or longer stem (especially considering the stem also has some drop)?

Still wondering about this. Anyone?
