930s are a little porky, at 26.1 lbs for the 1995 model. Compared to say a 1995 Marin Eldridge Grade at 23.5 lbs!

Check out Compass tires for light slicks.

I really miss this setup, but these barends had too much of a dogleg to them. I'll have to hunt for some less bent long barends, maybe figure out a way to run interrupter levers on the flatbar, too....

Flat bars actually have 3 positions:

1. hands on grips
2. hands near stem
3. IAB

Not bad. Seems a little pricey for Tourney parts. Freewheel instead of freehub is a bit of a bummer also. I'd prefer a nice 1995-ish 24 lb-ish MTB, myself. I'd guess that Lithium weighs about 30...

I almost went with Metropolis, but decided against them for the same reason.

I wound up with Surly Open bars, since even the cheapest Jones is too rich for my blood.
