I went to Velo Pasadena last week and was really impressed with this store. (I've never seen so many high-end frames in one place - I think it was a Colnago/De Rosa breeding farm! )

I spoke to the guy in charge, Hrach, for quite a while about swapping out my handlebars. They had a big selection and I am curious about those FSAs with a compact drop. My K-wings are comfortable but on a couple of steep descents recently where I had to ride the brakes a lot (Baldy lifts and Chantry in the dark) I felt my fingers cramping up.

Hrach saw my bike and said that the internal cabling of my K-wings did not exploit Campy to its best capabilities. He checked my brake levers and said they felt a little mushier than Record should be. He also agreed with me about switching to compact drops.

So now I'm thinking about having him swap out my handlebars. He seems like the ultimate Campy pro, but I've never done business with his shop before. Has anyone gone there and what are his prices like? The kinds of bikes he has on display makes me grab my wallet to make sure it's still there.
