Some small bits have started arriving....
top deck for the longbike, with an extra seat, and a strap to grab. So thats ready for child seat removal. (Well it would be if my replacement crank arrived, and I had the wheel covers sorted.)
Hope 1 1/8" external headset, hope grip doctors, and a hope seatpost clamp.
Did mock ups of various bar set-ups. If I mount the brakes forward of the crossbar, and the thumbie on the crossbar. I get to use all the hand positions without hinderance, use the brakes while gripping the bars with lobster gloves on, and both gear lever, and lefty lock-out are pretty close to my thumbs (usable without realeasing the bar).
Seems like over planning. But I spent ages thinking this through. The downside being, that I can no longer run pogies.
