Crank Brothers Candy SL / Rohloff SLT 99

2 Campagnolo Record dual pivot front brakes / customized Shimano 600

Gusset 5/64 sprocket 13T / Campagnolo Chorus 53T

Even though it might look other than that but this actually is a 28'' bike. It is just fun to ride. With the tires and a weight of almost 9kg not the fastest but as comfortable as a wheelchair.

Front light: Sanyo (from Dynapower-Set)
Back light: Sturmey Archer, both converted to LED with "Frog Light" ingredients

Indeed your handlebars are awsone. I thought of making these aswell and your the first one I see it getting done. Complements! Especially the way you mounted your brakelevers.

Backside

The backside of the setup is that the handlebar can't be removed without chopping it up. I got into bending wood today and soon there will probably the wish to try a new handlebar 8/
The next hanldebar will be made of wood from ash tree.
The modification of the brake lever sockets took a while until they fitted the bar without any gaps.

These handlebars are awesome!!! Where did you find them? They must be custom made?

You really did a nice job on this bike... simple, elegant and functional for you and the terrain where you find yourself!

Congarts pour votre très chic "Eminence Grise"!
