the Frame with the Pace forks fitted. they suit it really well i think. plans are to get some syncros bits for it and hopefully a hope/mavic wheelset. im still toying with the idea of having risers or flats and im still to find a bottom bracket as well, then i can get the turbines fitted

A Couple of shiny syncros bits came for me this morning. A 10 degree rise stem and a 27.2mm seatpost

flat bar for sure. especially if you are running a 10 degree stem, risers would make the front end too high

i was thinking that, but with the rigid forks its not that high anyway, especially with no spacers under the stem.

but i was thinking some old flat gt bars to finish it off :?

something like these (pic i borrowed)

 

[merckx]

yeah nice. that, or even syncros to match your stem and post would be cool also.
