  Cheers! To be fair I love its looks, but it'd need:

  • proper compact handlebars
    
  • at least 28C tyres
    
  • a different saddle
    
  • proper pedals
    
  • proper brakes
    
    

  Will probably sell it, these roads here aren't meant to be ridden on skinny tyres anyways (or I'm just a massive pussy). :P

  The unpacking happened yesterday, I've cooled down since. :P

  So apparently Deda Piega bars come in a non-compact, standard ergo style as well (with cable grooves). Needless to say I was pissed beyond imagination, but it feels pretty good after all. It seems like a pretty much standard 90-100 reach 150 drop stuff, although I didn't measure it thoroughly.

  These restoration projects are so ruddy satisfying to watch. Looking forward to see the finished bike, lovely so far!
