Yeah, wider bars upfront, all the rear is doing is holding on so anything should do, most of the time he will be on his phone anyway if anything like my daughter

I used to stop pedaling in box junctions to wake up my girlfriend .

Looking amazing Peachy! Love the whitewalls on the wheels...

On an unrelated note, I have an old DX derailleur as well, and the wire anchor bolt screw has stripped...what is the part# or what can I use to replace it?

No idea, have a look through the Shimano catalogue archive

They’re all going out today!!!
So no excuse not to crack on...
Think I’ll first strip down two pairs of 1988 Deore flat pedals for a proper service and cleanup and sort out the cockpit now the bars are sorted.

Cockpit sorted...
7spd Gripshift SRT600 and a pair of immaculate (they were NOS) XT BL-M700 taken off of my Canyon as I’ve found something different for that (explanation on another thread)

 

[Peachy!]

Also had a muck about with adding a rear disc as an emergency “drag brake”, thought I’d try before I buy and used a front from another bike. I agree it’s not the best solution but it is a working one and only as an assist to the canti brakes.

Oh yes, BB’s and cranksets sorted as well..

 

[Peachy!]

Need 3 chains for this old girl!

Plenty of copper grease on these dust caps as I never want a repeat of the surgery it took to get the old ones off

 

[The History Man]

I have lever envy

I’m loving the mix of old an new coming together on this! Is that last pic of the 30 tooth ring on a 110bcd crank?

Yes, but that’s original, it’s the linking pair on the near side.
As for parts I’m trying to stick to ‘87-‘90 as a rough guide. So far it’s only the wheelset, forks and seat posts that aren’t.

Looking really good! Why have you got the gripshift cable barrel bits above the brake levers though? They're usually installed below, looks a lot better and cabling is probably easier
