Okay, it's ready.

Well, it's finished. It took a while for all the parts to arrive. Here's the list.

Nitto Technomic stem - 70mm reach x 225 tall.
Civia Loring handlebar.
Brooks B.67 saddle
Shimano BL-R550 flat bar brake levers to work with road caliper brakes.
Shimano SL-R660 flat bar shifters.
Shimano front derailleur FD-R443, matches with the shifters and my 52T road triple.
MKS AR-2 road pedals
Schwalbe Marathon HS368 700 x 25.
Clamp-on handlebar grips.




The Nitto Technomic stem is really tall.


Here's the BL-R550 brake lever with the SL-R660 flat bar shifters. The brake levers are designed to work with road caliper brakes. The shifters are meant to work with the Ultegra rear derailleur. In my case, I had to get a new front derailleur.



Here's the FD-R443 front derailleur. It doesn't match the level of finish of the rest of the components. Clipless pedals are replaced by some nice MKS road pedals.


The Civia Loring bars and sprung Brooks saddle make it a sweet ride.
