I've just changed the headset and put new bars and stem on the Surly. The bars are OnOne Midge bars, so they're quite a lot wider than my old "female specific" bars. One thing that didn't occur to me until after I'd done it was the extra distance the brake cables would have to travel, with the result that they're now rather on the short side. It's rideable, but I'm going to have to take the bar tape back a bit before I ride it because the bars don't turn freely enough at the moment!
As you can see from this photo, the Surly is all black and white/silver, which I rather like ....
.... except that the Fulcrum wheels have a bit of red on them, which isn't all that noticeable in this photo, but really jumps out at you in real life.
So, I'm wondering if I should stop trying to ignore the red and embrace it instead, by going for a full set of red cable outers.
What do you think?
Embrace the red! You're CERTAINLY fast and fit enough to be able to properly wear/use red with pride!
