Pathh. I put butterfly bars on my 2004 Kara-Kum a couple of years ago, I still have mixed feelings about them and am thinking of changing back to straights next year. I like the Kara Kum, it has sort of grown on me, it does what I want and hasnt been a lot of bother, though neither it or I liked some of the rougher sections of the C2C and the Leeds - Liverpool canal but it is now badly in need of a new saddle and maybe it is time to change the gearing as both of us get older, this will be done as I would hate to part with it or loose it.
