unfortunately i've got a 1 - 1/8" threaded headset which is apparently kind of unusual, and i dont really like the idea of using shims to use an old road quilled stem.

i just added the bar ends and shortened the handlebars this weekend so i'm going to try them out for a while.. already i could tell they were much better than just having the flat bar, and moving all of the components in as tight as possible means my arms are in a better position.

I want to get the gearing right, but as it is now already i feel like it's much more suited for the streets. I just ride it for fun and minor errand running anyways
