Hey Larry sorry to hear that but like everyone else, glad it wasn't worse. Get well soon.

When do we get to see some pics of your new V20......?

Ouch. Didn't realize the $185 price tag was for just one.

I've noticed a little leg rub in that same place on the Vendetta but not enough as yet to change brakes. If it becomes more of a problem, that TriRig may be an option. It's a shame a set can't be split by two people. Or could it, by changing out the mounting bolt? I certainly don't know the...

I meant to mention that NiteFlux is an Aussie company. It seems like there is another cool bike thing that originated in Australia....trying to think what it is....it's right on the tip of my tongue....hmmmm Glad to hear Adelaide is the best city in Oz! I will be interested to hear how the...

Slim, yeah i like the clearance. And I think that's a great nickname for this--the Downunder. I like it! If by normal Ultegra shifters, you mean brifters, the answer is yes. I used SRAM Rival brifters on Silvio 1.5, and also used Shimano 105's on the Sofrider for awhile. The upside of using...

Sweet setup! I like it. That's what I too love about the SRAM bar ends; I often ride with my hands on the pods and can shift either way without moving my hands at all, and can dump into low gear in one revolution. Boy that Cateye is a perfect fit for that space, too. What kind of brake...

I found that I like pushing the lever to move to a bigger cog or chain ring, especially the chain ring as it takes a good bit more effort than when releasing the cable tension to go to the small ring. I feel more mechanically advantaged pushing hard on the lever than having to crank back pretty...

Ok I think this joker is complete, at least for now. I have to thank the good folks at TerraCycle www.t-cycle.com ; I hsd emailed them last week to ask when the Fastback Norback frame bag would be back in stock. They ssid it would be at least 6 weeks but said they hsd a couple stashed away and...

Hi again slim, apologies for taking so long, the BOSS is in high demand these days! Hope these help. Obviously not in riding attire.

Abbott, got home and did a mock up using the stock CB bar. Flipped or unflipped, the shoulder-to-handle distance remains the same, as does the hand height. Best of luck whatever route you take, KM

Looking at your pics again I notice I did not account for your cables/housing being the type that does not run under the bar tape. That may affect your knee clearance (with the housings only, not the bar) if you flip. Probably you could route them where they wouldn't interfere w your legs...

Are those the bars that come with the Vendetta? If so I have some at home and I will take another look at them tomorrow. I did try them at one point and saw no problem with using them flipped but wound up preferring the Junebug bar. When trying to visualize them in 'standard' position vs...

Peter White Cycles www.peterwhitecycles.com also carries them.

Happy reader is right. Calhoun's is the best.

These were taken with my left knee almost as far back in the pedal stroke as it gets. No knee interference with the bars nor the hoods even at the furthest point back. Having short cranks does help that to be the case.

It depends on how your bars are currently mounted. From your profile pic it looks like they are rotated as they often are on Cruzbikes so that your handles point almost but not quite vertically down. If you flip them so the handles point up, and rotate them so the angle of the handles suits you...

Yep ditto. That's actually my numero uno favorite thing about that set up.

Nitto road bar with Rivendell Silver bar end shifters (friction shifters made by Dia Compe). Note the shoulder of the bar does not slope 'early' like an off road drop, nor does the grip flare out at all. As you can see, this results in the shoulder of the bar pressing against the inner forearm...
