I've been struggling to ride this since I put it together: the bar tape, though pretty was not very comfy, and I was struggling with the DT shifters - again, so I've done a bit of a modernisation job on it.
Before:
After:
Now sporting modern cork tape - so much nicer, and Microshift 7 speed brake shifters. The shifters are not the prettiest brake levers in the world I'd be the first to admit, and being black don't totally go with the rest of the colour scheme, but they'll do 'til some nicer ones turn up.
However the rideability of the machine has increased by quite a lot! Took it for a quick shakedown and cable stretch on Sunday and ended up doing 10 miles, I've not ridden it further than a mile before
