bump, updated first post with the following wanted stuff:
- North road style bars (e.g. with rise & backsweep)

Frankly, I respect her commitment to aesthetics. No point owning a bike you can't sit and stare atUPDATE: Have now got ours hands on a lovely raleigh royal courtesy of @tomatoe. It's a little on the long side for her with drops, so we're going to try it out with risers. so we're now looking for the following:
Will probs get some of these bits new, but thought it worth checking on here first!
