Re: Re:
What he said.
Reckon a set of those are going on the shopping list along with a Thomson stem.
I've just fitted a re-re Flite red label to a shiney USE post with nice new black ano hardware and it looks rather spangly.
I'll start a build thread for the bike tomorrow, when I've had a chance to take some photos of the frame.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

Re:
OK. So a got a bit bored last night and started building the bike up.
I've used the parts off my Cube LTD (Mostly) and intend to go with a retro mod look.
I reckon I certainly need a silver bar, but not SO sure about the stem now. :? Maybe black would look as good/better- just don't know.
I've ordered some cheap On One bars so I can see what they look like before I spend any real money so I'll wait and see.
Best start a thread for the bike I guess.
:roll:

Re:
Like the Ritchey classic kit.
Is that the 10D flat bar you have there, or have you found a riser??

Just seen the prices :shock:
Maybe next time!
It is the 10D model, I am a convert of all things "alt bar". The Ritchey is the lowest sweep option, but works well on a few of my bikes. It is neutral with respect to stem length and has a long front centre feel, stretched out compared with say the Jones or Ragley Carnegie's.
Cables left to do, but here you go

Re:
It is very nice, and the Ritchey kit does have a real retro vibe going on compared to most modern stuff.
I think I may have found THE stem at least. I might have to try a pair of flat bars (I have some EA70s) and see how they feel.
