I managed to break my neck in two places, a few years ago when three guys tried to rob me on the way to work one morning. Thank goodness the break was stable because I stood up to fight them off as soon as I figured out what was about to happen. Anyway...

As I age, I find that it hurts my neck to ride with drop bars. With that in mind, I have been experimenting with different bars. Those on my Specialized Junker II are darn near perfect. I am just looking for some down tube cable guides so that I can install a set of handlebar mounted shifters on the bike...


I also tried a set of mustache bars on my Legnano Gran Premio (the first one I had) and liked those bars quite a bit. Sadly, that bike was too small for me and I did not ride it all that much...


Well, a couple of days ago, I installed an identical set on my Motobécane Gran Jubileé. They feel pretty good and I intend to ride the bicycle until the snow says no...


Then it will be jump on the GT that I found at the Dump this summer past. And hope I make it to Spring...
