After 2 years of riding her Trucker with drop bars, Trish decided it was time to change things up and make the switch to butterfly bars.
She never really used the drops, so the new bars give her even more hand positions than she had before.
Greatly improved braking power was an added bonus. The Sturmey Archer levers give her a lot more leverage than the old ones did.
It took a bit to get everything into their ideal positions, but eventually everything fell into place.
Nice. Haven't been a fan of butterfly bars, but have been warming up to them. Cork and twine certainly don't hurt!
ReplyDeleteThe cork and twine was my attempt to class up the dorkiness of the bars. Every little bit helps.
Deletewhat type of iphone mount is that?
ReplyDeleteIt's a Topeak RideCase. They also make a drybag case that works with the same mount.
