Thanks
Tentative plan is black RD-2's and maybe a Kinlin rear from Scrod, but I would have to figure out something to blacken the machined brake surface. Otherwise...maybe an Ellipse?
It's a 700c 440, just looks a little small cause the frame's a 61.

And apparently NMSW XR300s only exist on Novatec Force wheels.

Anyone know the geometry on a Leader 720? There is a new one for sale by me for 145, debating about picking it up.

for FREE! But the previous owner chopped the ends and sandblasted them... I figured I would try them out, and I have to say they aren't terrible, though my wrists hurt a bit more than the risers.

Either way, it was more of an experiment to try out the bars. I'll most likely be switching back to the risers fairly soon.

Are you riding on the horns or on the flats? I ride horns, which doesn't make me an expert, but I ride on the flats just as much as the horns.

Riding on the horns is definitely more comfortable, but like I said, since there was soo many families, I was sticking to the "flats" to man the brake. The way the Syntac's roll down and back isn't the most comfortable. But a free bar is a free bar, and I do like the way it looks.
