There is a set of long-reach bullmoose bars on the way to my office right now. Extra-special, Jay had them powdercoated to match my Bombadil. I cant wait to see how that comes together.
The noodle cockpit setup from the Bombadil will get handed down to the Hunqapillar as a result. 46 Noodles, Tektro levers and interupters. Retro-friction (Suntour) barcon shifting. Toshi Orange cloth (if Orange ends up being the panel color). I'll be running Big Apple 60s on Bontrager Fairlane Rims. The wheels are sitting in the garage, air in the tires and everything. The only slightly unusual thing is that I plan on setting it up as a compact double with a 29/46 in front and that humongous 12-36 9-speed cassette in back. I did the math and was surprised when I realized a 29-36 is lower by a touch than a 26-32. It's only a couple inches higher than the 24-32 that most of you are running as your lowest low. Ritchey seatpost, and WTB Deva saddle bought on-list from the 'fiend.
