billytwosheds This works out really well, quite comfortable. The Ergos are easily operated with the rebuild for shifting and brake great with the calipers. Best braking bike I have.
I don't often use the drops but when I do, I like the angle to be supportive of my whole hand. All of my bikes are set up this way as opposed to the flats being parallel to the ground, as shown in post #64 . There has been discussion over the years about which is preferred. This is my preference. Like to go for the upper part of the bars parallel to the ground. Looks a lot like bull horns would work!

I would like to try the bars shown in #23 by gaucho777 . Been looking for them used. No luck yet. It is a lot of effort to swap bars and stems. I have a fair amount of Cinelli bars and a number of others I don't like for some reason or other. Need to purge the undesirables.
A black 1R stem was acquired that I may use. Liking the black accents more. Glad for using the black Calipers. Thinking about a black post too, maybe a Miche Supertype, since I don't have an Campagnolo Aero post long enough. The one I have is too short. Maybe red?
