That would be a fair point if it was a reasonable criticism, but what actually it was just "get some new bars". If it had been "I don't like your bar arrangement" or "Christ that's ugly" that would be fair enough, it's a reasonably expressed opinion, but it read to me like a pronouncement from on high and I don't respond well to those. There's no such thing as wisdom without humility. I didn't post it for a pat on the head, I posted it because I asked for some advice a couple of pages back, it was kindly given, and those who gave it expressed a desire to see the bike when it was finished, which is why I said "here you go then" and not "PROSTRATE YOURSELVES AND MARVEL AT THE MAGNIFICENCE OF MY CREATION PUNY MORTALS".
