I love mixtes but those bullhorns have got to go. I know bullhorns are wonderful for climbs and general riding, heck I have like 3 but mixte should be a classic townie build..

I think I'm going to have to agree with this, or if you really love the bullhorns get some full size ones like the ones nitto makes. Are those chop n' flops?

yup...they were an old pair of drops. the bullhorns were just irresistable because it gave me a much better ride compared to the drops. but im reluctant to shove over 30-40 for a nice pair of nitto bullhorns.

That's a carbon fork...
Drilling a carbon fork is a big no-no...

Nevermind, I just checked the specs of the fork, it has aluminium crown and carbon blades...I thought it was full carbon.

I like this bike, but I'm having a hard time looking at that brake set up and not commenting on it. That lever is intended for use on a flat section of bar, and I'm worried that it might be more or less functionally useless right there. I'd either move it to the inside of the bars or replace it with a regular drop lever in the same place.
