Lookin good. Another great example of how nice black can be. howd you do with the trp levers on the albastache? I recently made the switch to albastache and I ended up mounting them upside down because the lever felt really weird right side up...though the cable routing is less than ideal now.

Congrats on the new bike!! Congrats also on the SUNXCD derailers. I have the rear one on my 8-speed Bleriot. How do you like the SUN FD? Does it work well with your 9-speed(8?) cassette setup? I might get a SUN FD for both my bikes next time I need to change. -- You received this message

I don't mind the upward curve of the levers at all. Kn fact, for me they feel nicer than when my LHT had a mustache bar with straight levers. On Friday, July 24, 2015 at 4:44:09 PM UTC-4, drew wrote: Lookin good. Another great example of how nice black can be. howd you do with the trp

The front derailleur looks great and performs very well. Although, not much is being asked of it since the chainrings are only 40-26. If, perhaps a standard touring triple were in play... Note that the SUN XCD front is a braze-on so a clamp will be needed, too. On Friday, July 24, 2015 at
