my capitulation to the hegemony
of the drop bars
proceeds apace.
as does my commitment to the cause of
're-enactment'.
although I had to watch Mr Peterson's video to remind me,
twining the bars took me back to my Dad showing me how to bind a
fishing rod.
very satisfying.
the shellac covers up the words
"Australia" and
"Yellowglen".
I thought the shellac would make the bar tape
hard and scratchy
but the feel is surprisingly warm and smooth
with enough tooth to feel secure.
this kooky short stem
was a hard rubbish find
and puts the bars exactly where I need them
to be able to ride comfortably on the hoods
even though they look a bit naff.
