Project for the GF... Aim is for a fast but comfortable ride.

and a pair of these...

With some brake levers that look like this...

B17 Lady...

And was thinking about reusing this tape I had on the Argos...

...but thinking black grips to match the Brooks may be best option...

Picked up the bike for what I think is a bargain £215, and we cycle past Woodrup all the time so nice to have a piece of local frame building history.

Just finished sorting it out, new bars, cables and levers... (She'll have to wait till xmas for the Brooks) Decided against the blue white tape, used a layer of the blue stuff that came with it with some soft touch over the top to give a nice comfortable grip...

Took it for a ride along the road and fell in love with it, my Hetchins is getting a similar set up as soon as I come across another pair of nice bars.

Think I may have to swap out the stem for one a little shorter, going to see how she looks on it. Also need a pair of double sided Sylvans or a similar alternative...
