These are the 46cm Nitto Noodle Bars.
A beautiful set of bars with a unique shape. They curve back towards you slightly. Lots of comfortable hand positions.
And I got to take my shot at wrapping my bars with cork and hemp twine and adding shellac over it all.
4 coats of amber shellac over the natural cork bar tape. It came out even richer looking than the original bars that Rivendell did.
I just couldn't get comfortable on the moustache bars, these are going to work out much better for me.
If anyone wants an almost new set of moustache bars for half price, lemme know!

Oh, and I also changed the shifting from indexed to friction. All i had to do was turn the dial on the barend shifter and wallah! Quiet and smooth shifting with no need to tweak the derrailleur to death.
If you don't wear headphones, i'd recommend you give this a try sometime.
