If you lived here three years you should know your way around

When you come in the fall, email, perhaps my husband and I can meet up for a ride around town to see sites.

I covet RiverCities cycle cam.

The device around her neck is a reciever for the invisible fence...terriercam would be a hoot.
Get her on the way via UPS and we'll make it happen :-)

What's with the extra long seatpost and giant chainring then?

In any event they will take some getting used to as they are ~25% larger than the previous set.

I do like the grips that are included with the bar ends. They are touted to provide an excellent support position to help relieve that pesky ulnar wrist/elbow/thumb bone going dead syndrome. I have mine positioned nearly horizontal...in parallel with the seat angle.

Nice set up KShep, i been thinking to get one but i am using a mirrior which goes inside the handbar,looks like the bar you have will not acommodate my mirror, BTW, how the barend keep up in place? Is the whole thing screw on over the handlebar like a regular grip?.

This is what i have now

If I needed a mirror your set up would fit the bill.

The pic I posted earlier (blue 7.6 FX) is MorganRaiders bike....not mine. The GC3s I recieved from Amazon are the same as in that pic. I thought i was gonna get the smaller ones like WCoast or Sixty Fiver (sorry, I cannot locate the post/thread) installed.

Ergon bar ends and grips available at Amazon. Sold via BikeSomeWhere dot com. Mine order was delivered within a week. Others have beeen less fortunate with this online vendor.

https://www.amazon.com/s.html/ref=bl_...01&brand=Ergon

I entered a search for Ergon GC3 but did not look at all available Ergon products or I might have selected a less bulky version.

Okay, if i use the grip with barend as shown in the pics, i won't be able to use my mirror bcz the barend will take up the space in the handbar where the mirror goes into...hope i am right on this.

Mine are the Large size - It has do with the PAD for palm.


I also like having the bar ends more vertical so I can rest my hands on the end of palm pad and the bar end as if you are shaking someone's hand. This position simulates what a road biker might do "resting on the hoods". Another good hand position for me to wrap fingers totally around vertical part of bar-end. I will post some pics later on to show what I am talking about.

Here is where I purchased them. They have an online chat for tech support (upper left corner of web page) These guys are very helpful.

Here's how I did mine - using regular bar ends. Just slide the handgrips in a little tighter, mount the bar ends, and then mount the mirror. (mirror turned around for picture clarity)

I don't know how I would mount the mirror with that new style.

I use my mirror A LOT!
