Setting up my 4th drop bar mtb right now.. my GF was like "i want to try those kind of handlebars"
+1 agreed... these drop bar bikes are the modern versions of the original klunkers and I love them!
Funny coincidence, 10 years ago my girlfriend (now my wife) made the same comment... now she races a Ferrari edition (red w/ white accents and chrome lugs) Simonetti with Campy 10... way better than any bike I've ever owned! I guess you have something to look forward to
frantik, call it the love build but think of it more as the never get to build another bike without catching the stink eye build!!!
