Air, For the handlebars, see

Sheldon calls them "butterfly" bars, but I know them as Euro touring bars ... also commonly used on police bicycles in the EU. You probably don't want these bars if your need a compact fold. Long distance comfort was more important to me than compact fold. I'll snap some pix tomorrow for you and F&T of the "compact form".

Cao, in fact, I did have a TB/LT on the bike, see

but the new fork is so good that I moved the TB/LT to my Swift, which needs it much more than the MK bike.
On the MK bike, I needed a seatpost plus the seat tube to get the saddle to pedal distance I need, and the Kalloy is well worth $30 vs. a plain seatpost for a few dollars less.
