@tlas, there is another option. You can get fizik with bar gel, you cut the bar gel to fit your bars and they wrap their tape over it. Specialized also do a wrap called the Bar Phat that also wins on the squidge factor.

Dude i've moved everything around i possibly can. I already feel like i got my seat stupidly low to take some of the weight off. It's better with these grips but i might try them on my risers.
This doesn't sound as if you've taken professional advice on your position?
It's not rocket science, but it does involve keeping a number of different factors in mind and just experimenting is unlikely to get you to a comfortable position (which exists for you). It's certainly beyond me to understand.
A full cycle fit is expensive, but there are different price levels in London--e.g., the Bike Whisperer's service comes highly recommended and is less expensive than Cyclefit, for instance.

OK I have already posted on here ages ago, most of you know me but hey. Someone once said to me on a night ride that the Geoff Butler had never been posted on here. I had some new wheels built recently so I thought I'd take a pic. They're fuckin lovely!

After seeing your bike in person and you riding it, I end up wanting to build my bike in a similar fashion as your (in term of functionality of course), because you look very comfortable yet at the same time still be able to cane it when requested (moustache-style bar, saddle bag, mudguard etc.), this bike is the perfect everyday bicycle for all sort of occasion from popping down to the shop to doing a century.

I rode to Southend on it last saturday, it was pretty good.
@mattty re: coaster
A lovely idea. I really want a coaster, having ridden some in Holland last year and
!NhattAttack!'s recently. But I'm far too attatched to these hubs to fuck with this particular bike, they're bloody gorgeous:
Today I am umming and arring about maybe renovating the Geoff Butler, has a couple of dings I'd like to fill, maybe strip paint off the forks as they're chrome underneath (if it's salvageable), got decals and reynolds transfers - just trying to justify it to myself. Shouldn't be too hard ...

@ Skully... lovely stable. Overhaul that Butler? Hells yeah...
