and here with my actual levers

Yes. Classic bend is different to modern bars.

That Cervelo btw, oh my

Bike looks nice.

Better get some different bars before wrapping.

I suspected this would be the answer! I have some nice compact bars that would be perfect but they feel like they will never get through this stem.

Clamp it on the thinner part of the bars or use a reverse shim

Looking at that stem, you might be right...

The stem has this cool little spreader bolt but even with it opened wider then advisable it wouldn’t clear the non-rounded section of the Procraft bars where the cable grooves are, and I scratched the shit out of them trying. I think a grooveless bar (Piega?) might just work, but I might just see if I can live with the 90s abominations first. I assume the way I have them set up is about right, as far as it goes.

I recently had the same issue but couldn't get the piegas I had in. If you're in West london and want some 38cm piegas you're welcome to try them out. Think I used nitto m151 in the end.

In a world of problems this might be part of a solution. And one of those japanese illustrations that shows the golden proportions of random bikes but for bdhu.

And then you have to eyeball the hood angle so it doesn't solve anything

That doesn't show anything other than both levers being equal height.

I thought the pump was part of the door.

This one's mine. I await the verdict on my bars. Yes I could level the drops, but in this form all hand positions are comfortable. Tops, ramps, hoods, drops.

For classic drops this is fine

I really like the balance of black and silver on this build.

Also, Nice 2x8 set up...I have just done the same on another build. I was very surprised on how well it worked. Thank you lord Romance.

I think this was meant for +dadbike.

Thanks for the kind words. This iteration came out well, and I haven't changed it in a few weeks, which for me is pretty telling. (I'm a serial tinkerer)

The Campagnolo 10 to shimano 8 really works better than it should. I've had similar setups on a few bikes over the years. Allows the great shifters with reasonable gearing and cheap parts. Win win
