I like Soma Sparrow and On One Marys and bars more extreme than that.


Suggestions:

- Airzoundz horn
- replace bell with Crane Suzu
- mirror (I'm partial to the helmet mounted Safe Zone)
- reflective tape accents
- ergonomic grips of some sort

- mudflaps for fenders
- more lights


- what tires are you running?

- are you happy with your pannier, or carrying you load via pannier? Day to day I prefer a large saddlebag on a quick release...

The Crane Suzu is pretty much teh same as my "king of ding" bell. It has a nice ring to it (the name and the sound of the bell!).

Any advice on ergonomic grips? The bike came with some stock ones but I'm always fiddling with them, I can't get comfy with them and I'd be interested in upgrading.
