Update: today i got the last of the parts for my flatbar touring bike project. i converted from drop bars to flatbars(it took 3 hours start to finish). I learned alot through a few mistakes, cables are not easy to cut, measure twice cut once, listen to music it keeps you calm. i still have a few little things to do like, put my NEW tour plus tires on, derailleur refinements, go on maiden voyage. tell me how you like it so far.
