MTB riser bar is rather convenient, but sometimes I want to get lower riding position, that's why I've decided to put stock Start-shosse drop handlebars with new white tape. I've also installed 16T singlespeed rear cog with front 39T chainring and new U-brake. The bike is a little bit lighter now (11.04kg/24.34lbs) with very heavy steel seatpost and wellgo b-54 flat pedals (I use flat pedals for city-biking).

This was my first handlebar tape installation:

Deleteoh, man, that is really up north. you should get a snowboard too! can you go trout fishing there?
ReplyDeleteI go cross country skiing ). There's no mountains close to me, that's why I don't have snowboard or alpine ski. Fishing is very popular here. I even think that, there are more fishermen than fish ).
