Thanks Tony! I do have the Homer set up with drop bars, but since it was my Dad's, it's not exactly my perfect size and it's a 650b model (not sure if they all were) and I don't want to change much of the bike as it was my Dad's (he had Alt bars on it).
Good to know you are enjoying your Roadini.. I don't mind welds and they don't look too bad from the pics.. :) Thanks.
