Mudguards will be going on soon Jags,and the handlebars are https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/handlebars/modolo-gran-fondo-ergonomic-drop-handlebars-260mm-clamp-black-430mm/
I find them really comfortable,people comment on then and to be fair I hadn't seen any others like them,thanks for all the kind comments folks

i use Modolo granfondos on one of my xtc's and also my sherpa, love them,
must admit i have seen the Soma Condor drops and really fancy giving them a try they have a 46mm rise, means a lot shorter spacer stack

Good stuff don't go cutting them short  leave room on the stays or adjustment  ;)

Class job every bit as good as mine  ;D ;D

does that mirror work ,what the verdict on it i still need to get one.
the one i bought from CRC is useless  shimmers all over the place and just cant adjust it for clear rear view.

Bike looks fantastic.

Thanks for your compliments ,means a lot from the distinguished folk of this forum,the mirrors not bad jags,it's a bit small but doesn't get in the way of my knee,no wobbling or anything,works quite well,just small.
