The pictures do not lie. These things are honking huge with the Coda bar ends. The hybrid bars are coming off once I figure out what to use for bars. If I do drops what brifters will work with the Acera derailleurs(7x3)? Any suggestions? I don't really want to do barend shifters. Otherwise I could hack up some drops and do some bullhorns and keep all original levers and gripshift since they all work perfectly. The sofa saddle came off and now sports a white leather Concor saddle I picked up at the swap. I'm thinking of some 26x1.9 Kenda Smallblock since their not huge and have a small knobby pattern like on seen on alot of CX tires. I'm still debating on maybe heading back for that Paramount MTB as it's a Paramount and not a Paramountain in pretty good condition.
