Thanks! I was really looking forward to doing the work.

@Giantcfr1 - Haha, it is basically a flat-bar road bike, although it's marketed as a hybrid. Two main differences I've found between this and 'dedicated' road bikes is that the frame is slightly more stretched than most road bikes (by 1-2 cm), although it's still Giant's "Compact Road" geometry, and slightly wider tires at 28mm, when most road bikes come with 25's or 23's.
But you are correct, it can be considerred a flat-bar road bike.

@addictedhealer - Thanks! It's a fun project. How do you like riding with the new handlebars overall? I definitely have to pick me up proper cable cutters. Do you use generic cable cutters, or a tool made specifically for bike cables?
