I bought this new in 2008. I had to replace almost every component. The stuff that came on this ride were beyond cheap. I decided to add some retro bits to this bike. I really hate today's components, there aren't many custom components makers.

I don't think so. It took me months to find one. I had the titanium version and stupidly I sold it. Been looking for one ever since.

Nice ! Like how you mix & match using parts of an earlier era and it turns out clean & sleek looking. 8)

You can get braced bars on crc for around £20, not crowbars though.
