Are those longboards aluminum or the polycarbon/aluminum composite ones they're also making? I got a set of the latter a couple of weeks ago. If I hadn't already committed to them from the LBS, I would have done all aluminum. These just look kinda flimsy.

VERY nice build on your Trek, btw. I've putting my 614 together with moustache bars, also. I mean, they haven't arrived, yet. But, that's the intention. Be at the LBS in another day or two. Can't wait. How do you like the ride with them? Do you find it easy enough to still reach DT levers? I thought I might move mine up a bit closer towards the headtube. My 614 is an '82 and came with Symmetric shifters. I'd hate to need to use something else. They'r perfect for shifting easy with one hand since the levers sit right next to each on top of the downtube.
