they are jagwire bar end converters, i mounted them on acor bar extensions,
i have my sherpa set up the same way but they are in silver which looks much nicer, but the gold ones were on special so i grabbed them when i could
but i have got paul thumbies ready for my other xTc  ;D and in silver  ;D

Wonderful.  The Xtc frame looks great. Which sprung Brooks is that? I'm curious how the Carradice is attached to it.

jags.....they are schwalbe spicers, i did try panaracer tourguards but they were like pedalling in treacle
couldn't find anything else that grabbed my fancy so thought i'd take a chance on these
the tread looks much the same as supremes
it's just a fun bike for knocking round in the summer, the sherpa is much more workman like but  this will do for a week or so away camping plus i get lot's of admiring looks from little old ladies, needs a tarten picnic rug rolled up on the back rack or a tarten thermos (old skool lol )

in4,,,,,,it's a brooks flyer special, the saddle roll is attached just to the saddle loops

Very interesting set up. Love the "mudguards". Remember them on the Raleigh Arena back in '78  ;D

cheers

Thats really nice. Great to see a different slant on the normal XTC.

This is stunning! What's that paintjob, if you don't mind me asking? Looks a bit silver, a bit champagne... or champagne & silver overspray?  ??? I'm just about to take my bare metal factory clearance xTc frame to Argos and not sure what colour I should get (actually was firmly decided on one or another shade of blue until just now).
