A postscript : this evening I tried to figure out what was wrong with the indexing. Put bike in stand, click clickity click a few times and then clunk. The cable came free from the rear mech and it shifted into the smallest sprocket and stayed there, no matter what. Sorted now, but a few more shifts in the vicinity of Bexhill and it would have turned into a 38 x 11 singlespeed.

That would have been a joy in East sussex.

@GrumpyGregry - remind me what your not-quite-Midge bars are called.

South of the station down to the front and along the promenade, every bar was teeming with teenagers (ok, some may have been in the 20-24 bracket) who were seriously inebriated and would not make it to closing time without passing out.
Painted faces, torn fishnets, tinnies galore, falling over, short skirts and no knickers - all observed. Most thought they had the right to meander/stagger along the bike path on the prom in the face of oncoming bicycles.
And this is the town you are contemplating retiring to?!

Is this a regular thing? Just asking for a friend....

Ritchey VentureMax WCS (Comp version is cheaper) but Daija Far Bars are the future...

A useful tool http://whatbars.com/

It can be argued that the best cycling is nothing to do with getting somewhere. Even if a destination must, of necessity, be declared, wherever you go, there you are.
I like that.
