Almost. The cassette and derailer will be black, but I'm running a shiny
new nickel Wipperman Connex chain so it'll be a good while before I can pop
a black one in there. It was supposed to look good with the silver/black XT
derailer..oops!

True, and I'm already there. I swapped that cockpit out and ended up with an

Rust is a scab on steel. With high quality steel, you'd have to really
work at it to rust it out. This stem has been treated with Ospho, and that
neutralizes the rust. Sure, in 100 years, it might be an issue. But the
tubing is 2mm thick, it's not going anywhere any time soon. People ride
Around where I live and the roads/trails I ride on, only once in several
days do I see someone actually using the drops. They all mostly use hoods,
corners or the flats. Many alt bars offer equivalent of those 3 positions,
plus the upright position when I want to take it easy, see the world
I agree with Ash's take. I have billie bars on my Homer, and the position just
in front of the brake levers feels like holding the bars just behind the hoods
on drops-which is mostly where i kept my hands when i rode drops; however, if i
want to sit up more, holding the grips is way more
It's better to burn out than it is to rust!

Thanks, Jeff! Yeah I think it looks better, and it sure feels better. On
today's ride I was able to focus on the rest of the bike because I wasn't

Hi Mark,
Yes the handling is the same, there's hardly any weight in the bag. The
'walking speed tiller effect' is quite minimal, and possibly a result of the

forward where a short-reach stem clamp would be.

The yellow is distracting, even in a small pic. Plain silver would look
