Thorn Club Tour
« on: October 18, 2008, 12:40:57 AM »
Hi,

Thinking of investing in a Club Tour frame and building it up myself.  Bike will be used for day rides, light touring and commuting.  Has anybody any experience/advice re straight bars with this frame.  Any pictures?

I got myself a sherpa frame and built it up, my suit flat bars better.

After getting an uncomfortable pain in my elbow when braking, I decided to replace the drops on my Club Tour with some riser bars. No bad effect over handling or comfort (I'm always admired with the handling of this bike, no matter what one throws at it) However, I didn't get used to it, so went back to drops. Now, for the sake of experimenting, I'm considering to move the Mary bars over from my MTB and see how it works. I'll send pics when I'll get to do it.
