Yeah, I think I may just stick with it haha, I did end up going with a black brooks b17 special because i got a killer deal on it, and I think because it has the copper rivets and such, and my raliegh stickers are all gold, i may just go with some gold bar tape to see how it looks, should turn out good, and yeah, thats a killer idea matching the crank ring, i just gotta figure out what the bolt pattern is! Ummm as for the parts, let me see... for everything it was a total of 90 bucks and i picked them up so no shipping, he actually gave me another set of bars that would be perfect cut and flipped.
