Still more bumping...

After swapping forks I noticed that this new one has a shorter steerer tube which put my bars just a tad too low. I could still ride but I felt my weight resting more on my hands than I would like long distance. Going back to the donor e bike I pulled the bars from it. These are a little swept back and have about a 20 - 30mm rise. Flippity flop I did the swap and took it out for a test ride. Happy hands for Happy Feet! The positioning feels a lot more comfortable now. Btw.. In the picturess the shifters are just sitting on the bars and not in the final position (they are more outboard).

Now I am debating stripping the stickers off and repainting the frame. Last time I tried several different earth tone paints in random blocks to try to make a sort of camo effect but I never really liked the end result.
