Sorry about the quick snatch of the Bleriot, Williwoods. But it did go to a good home. It's turned her into a daily bike commuter, overnight! Pretty cool.
Doug, here's what Gino had listed on the bike in regards to your question. I don't think she swapped anything out. Also, as Justin says, it's the Jitensha flat bar that Hiroshi designed (http:// jitensha.com/eng/bars_e.html). You can order it from them. I don't have a bike in mind for these bars, but I'm always tempted to buy one and put in the parts box for something down the line. They look great, IMO: http://jitensha.com/eng/8-07-650ebisu.html Anyway: Nitto Jitensha bars PAUL thumbies Dia-Compe levers Silver™ brand brakes Shimano Durace shifters Best, Lee On Nov 30, 3:37 pm, doug peterson <dougpn...@cox.net> wrote: > Lee: > > My wife has usually had flat bars and is giving the drops on her > Atlantis a fair trial.
