I finally have the bike the way I want it! I just put new Tektro R200 Brake Levers, Suntour Bar End Shifters, Black cork bar tape, Brooks B17, and new brake/shifter cables and housing. Cleaned the bike really nicely (it was 67 degrees and sunny today!) and re-lubed everything. This is how it will stay for a long time. I am currently working on a set of Bontrager Race Wheels with knobby tires for the snowy/icy days, which we don't get many of in central KY.








Took it for a spin around the block a few times, the new set up is soooo much nicer than my old one, it is so comfortable to ride and I love the bar ends. They are super easy to use and with the friction shifting I never have to worry about chain rub.
