not only that but the fork, stem, headset and handlebars are a downgrade.
You say that the fancy stem will get your bars lower but there are plenty of threadless for under $30 that will do the same.
And do you even need the bars lower?
Are B-123s serving any purpose other then aesthetics?
If it is even a good bar stem setup why would you get a brooks to go with it?
MKS custom nuevos? Are you using cleats?
DeepVs?
Phils?
Ziemas is right. If this isn't a joke it has nothing to do with performance or differences you'll notice(in a good way) and everything to do with putting the hippest parts on you're bike.
