But still, is there any specific type of grease to get for the Courier??
I have already bought some old 'new' drop handlebars* cheaply off
ebay, mainly for the slightly retro brake levers (they have two handles with the second running paralel with the main central bit of the handlebars, so you can have your hands in more than one position when using them, and I've seen pictures of them on here before). I am now looking for a new set of wheels, but I have so far managed to upset my Dad after I took off the luggage rack as I didn't tell him first! (Taking that rack off was the very first thing I did, and to be honest, the bike looks about 10 times better for it!).
Thanks.
* - The Courier currently has 'normal' straight handlebars, so this is a real leap of faith for me changing them, but hey, the drops WERE cheap, and are old themselves anyway, so if it doesn't work out, it won't be the end of the world.
