Honestly, I'm not sure what Barcons are? I had originally planned to slowly upgrade the Miyata, but then I found myself buying a full ultegra groupo in one shot. My Miyata is such a sweetheart, I couldn't bear to tear it down and swap things out... So I decided to keep it original, as a touring bike, and start looking for a frame to hold all of the ultegra parts... Well, lo and behold, I found the frame... more details + pics to come!
