Hi,

Finally took some pictures of my Milano with the new handlebars:









The last two photos illustrate a problem that I discovered during this conversion. The shift control on the right side actually required a 60 cm grip instead of a 90 cm grip that came with the bike. The left side takes a 120 cm grip. I discovered this because the control barely fits the flat section of the bar and when I started measuring things I figured out the problem.

Anyway, I rode this bike during my club's annual Christmas ride (30 miles) and the bars worked great for that distance.
