Dalachin , great job! How wide are the tires you've got on the Tourmalet? I've been curious about a Lemond Tourmalet, but for my riding it would only work as a 650b conversion. And for the more 'upright' bars- I kinda looked down on them for a long time, but as age catches up to me I've become a convert. How do you work those brake levers, though- with your thumbs?
