Happy Holidays;Christmas,NewYear,and all others that grace us this time of year.Recently ,while doing research regarding what kind of bike to build,I came upon a deal on a newinthebox 06 T2000 that was too good to pass on.Just wondering what people with some miles on their Cannondales think of them.Any opinions?Tomas

Gear Talk / handlebar,shifter,brake options

« on: November 29, 2006, 11:41:05 pm »

Hi.Please pardon if this topic has ben bantered in the past.Any of you folks ride flat bars on your touring bikes?I understand the need to get down in the drops,but was wondering if a flat bar with bar ends installed facing downward and back would give enough different and low enough hand positions for longer rides.One may miss the forwardmost drop position at times,but a flat bar would allow use of an mtb style brake lever/thumb shifter combo,like older XT components.Any thoughts?Thanx,tomas

Ok,so no one wants to talk Heron,how about Bob Jackson.Their frames were much sought after when I rode in the mid 70's.Anyone build up one of these frames lately?Regardingly.tomas
