Project Handlebar Complete!
A trip to the French Purveyor of Sporting Goods today (which was very bare of cycle parts and bikes!)
A pair of Ergon grips bought, plus bar ends.
Old flat bar from the MTB fitted, along with the bar end shifters converted to thumbies, v-brake levers, the new ergon grips and the bar ends.

Finished off the conversion inside due to the rain!

I managed a quick half hour spin round the block.
What can I say but very very comfortable, with a nice upright position. I may need to tweak the position of the brake levers, as well as the dura-ace bar end shifters converted to thumbies, but overall, I'm very happy! It is nice to be able to cycle, without a crick in the neck, and enjoy the views, compared to using drop bars!
Hopefully a longer ride tomorrow!
