Well, they finally arrived and I was finally able to install and go for a ride. I rather like them, but they will take some getting used to! The bike feels 'twitchy' now. Great positions and the bike is actually more comfortable to ride.

I do not like the brakes at the back though. I will move them to the 'second' position, on the outsides of the bars. But that will have to wait until I order more bar tape (and maybe cruiser handles for the rear because my twist shifter just feels odd with just the tape) as the stuff has built in sticky stuff even though the website said it didn't. Bit annoyed about that.

So, pictures. Windsor Mixte, with trekking bars. Great match up.
