I absolutely love the idea of swapping bars, and having the controls on the bars rigged into the basket. That was great!

I like the way you slowly transitioned. It took me a minute to understand that operations were through the flat bar.

Nice change. It's almost a tourer if you put 1.75 road tires on it. Got ones like this too.

Thanks. Yeah a different and narrower tire would make sense but I sure like the look of the beefier tire.

THe first set of Billy Bonkers I ever bought I put on this bike but didn't like the looks of the tan walls with the bikes color combo. Not sure why. I ended up putting those tires on Nova's Schwinn Sierra. I wouldn't mind some black wall Billy Bonkers for this bike but most likely I will use something I already have. We'll see. Thanks Willie.

I have the same frame in that color. Hope to build it up someday. Yours looks great with the drop bars .

Don’t know how to get them here in the States but oil slick drop bars do exist on websites in the Philippines.

@@Locojoe that’s understandable. I didn’t want to cover up my polished silver bars so I wrapped them just far enough to have about a hand’s width across the tops (my bars are 46cm). That left plenty of the bar exposed and looks pretty good. If you want the look but don’t want the hassle of tracking down those bars you could go for some Specialized Supacaz oil slick bar wrap.

You could try some 26 x 1.95 Kenda 838 tires. low rolling resistance, plus good grip & cheap too. I have them on all 4 of my bikes. Love em.

I'll probably use tires I already have but if not I'll look into those. I do like the look of the beefy tire on this bike but if being practical I don't need that big of tire. Thanks.

How come your shifters work with the front mech? The pull of road shifters is normally to short for a mtb front derailler / crankset. That's what I run into at the moment.

Sorry for the late reply. I really never use the front derailer. I just went to test it and it currently only shifts between the 2 biggest rings. I didn't have time to see if it was an adjustment issue but it could be that it won't shift between all 3. Not a problem for me though like I said I really don't use it and would probably never use the smallest of the 3 rings.

@@Locojoethat explains. For using all 3 chainrings you need a compatible road FD like a Sora 3303. In the same boat here.

Yeah I don't know what it is about this bike. It's probably no worse than any other of my bikes though as none of them are just right lol. That's mainly because I have back issues and eventually my back will hurt regardless of the bike. Thanks.
