At least you managed to get the bars in without ripping the decals off

You can still buy the Ritchey lp pads. I think @racer x had a pair of the standard pads, not sure if he still has them though.

Why are there not more bar ends like that out there? I really like that little extra bit below the bar, it would fit perfectly with the way I grab the bar in climbs.
Lovely Rocky, by the way

Yeah they’re a great design. I guess they went out of fashion and never came back in fashion.. a shame definitely.

The ol’ coin in the stem clamp trick

I did see the Lp Ritchey pads and might have to get them if I can’t find a pair of Logic. They were on eBay for about £1.99 but they seem to have all sold out

Do u-brakes get clogged up with mud?
Yes.
Do they still work?
Yes.

This bike has been my daily commuter for about a year now for my 19 mile round trip, by my calculations I’ve ridden it around 4,000 miles!

The most reliable, comfortable and nimble bike I’ve ever had. I’ve changed out a fair few components to make it more cummuter friendly, and swapped back it’s totally OG saddle - only 35 yrs young

Love the old Rocky's and great to see it getting daily use Joe. @Si_33's Blizzard gets the same daily treatment
