New look

[3narf]

...I don't mean the cheapo women's clothes shop; I've treated my faithful SS commuter 'Aryton' to a new chainring, and a chain in flashy chav gold.

It'd look great with some nitto black bullhorns and brooks tape

I thought about it but I like the positive feel of the clamps on the X-Lite bar ends (that I had lying about). I like the fact I can tell exactly where my hands are on the bars without looking...

Yeah, well... I s'pose it's OK if that's the sort of thing you like.

It's a pity the tyres are loose and the chain's flat, but that's young people for you!

Seriously though, that is a lovely looking bicycle. The bars look insanely narrow but I think I'm getting middle-aged.

Enjoy riding it!

Orange and green is all very nice, but what about magenta and blue?

Shame you can't see the green tread on the tyres.

I find bullhorns to be far more comfy than bar ends, the joint interface can be hard on the hands over long distances. Whereas bullhorns don't have that issue for me.
