I've kept most of the components stock on this because it came with such great bits! The handlebars are scrambler bars for a small motorcycle.

I clearly don't have to tell any of you this, but the geometry of the early 80's mountain bikes is just so great for riding upright! I've got a similar build in the works right now but it will have sweepback bars for my commute to work.
