I got the drop bars on and shifters and stuff. I’m not pleased with the cabling yet so I haven’t installed the new bar tape yet,
this natural cork stuff is recycled from another bike.
The combination of the stem I bought and the new brake levers put the reach about an inch longer than I anticipated so I ended up using the stock stem. I think it looks kind of goofy but it’s pretty comfortable so far, although I’ve only ridden it around the neighborhood a few times. I’ll get to try it out on the road tomorrow.
I don’t think I’ll have time for a build thread, at least not anything worth reading.
Fenders should arrive tomorrow.
