Yes, but I've found that any ride past about 10 miles the bars become intolerable. My shoulders hurt, my hands hurt, my back hurts. It's the most "taxing" bike I have at the moment. I have several sets of north road type bars to try, but the project will need to wait for inclement weather before I give it the time to make the switch.

They are the 26 X 1 & 3/8 EA3 or 650A (590mm) Panaracer Col de la Vie, mounted to new Sun CR18 aluminum rims (cudak888 built the wheels). Originally the New World would have come with 597mm or 599mm rims and tires, but new rims in that size are not made. Since I was only working with a frame, and not tied to a perfect restoration, I was satisfied with these.
