[georgeformbybikermode] turned out nice again, hasn't it [/georgeformbybikermode] That is some of the best ruining I've seen in a looooong while mate.  Mentally logging ideas for future ambitions if that's OK ;D |

bit of a one step foreward two steps back day today, i have always been leaning towards dropped fairly narrow bars( had to look up ace bars too, they look ideal) but the bike is fairly small and i'm fairly large. so after an hour or so messing with an old set of moped bars i ended up with this  |

thanks for all the positive vibes folks  progress has slowed up a bit, daft things like work and real life getting in the way! the bars were bugging me,looked ok and very comfortable but not what i had in mind. So taking inspiration from those ace bars that were mentioned more chopping and changing ensued.  |
