a set of compact drops will raise the hoods up a fair bit, plus the stems quite low at the moment so you could bring that up a bit
I think I could get it to fit alright but it would be a bit of a bodge. I have a set of Deda Piega compacts I bought for another bike and never used, so I will try them on it and see. Another benefit of that is saying goodbye to that godawful bar tape. This frame is 57 x 56cm ctc, and I usually ride a 58cm top tube without too much of a drop. Generally it would be alright but ideally I'd like to be commuting on it, and going from a Pompetamine where the saddle and bars are only about 1 scoblebrick apart to however this ends up might be too much of a stretch.
Anyway, no big loss if that is the case, I should be able to recoup the money easily enough and I could pass it on to someone who can make the most of it.
