I had Billie bars on a tall nitto stem and had silly amounts of flex.
Moving to a stem that had uprise instead of that negative angle helped a
lot because I don't have to run them so high. I also think the Billie bars
are just super flexy bars. I moved to losco and tosco bars and that also

Extending the chainstays for more wheelbase means having to beef up the

Hi,
If the handlebar clamp on the stem is too loose the bars will slip and rotate
in it. The bolt needs to be really tight.

While not as aesthetically pleasing, you could try a threadless to quill

I think my answer was a little convoluted, I'll try again:
Those cranks/rings weren't designed for indexing, a thing double rings
don't need anyway. With friction you move the derailleur exactly as much as
you want and it's almost index-like anyway cuz it's one movement forward
and one back.
I highly agree, I love the options to fit many different wheelbases and
sizes and types, fenders too!
They also have a simple classic look, nothing fancy, just work well. If
you get the big 4 bike one like I have, i recommend the floor dolly for
that sucker to store it, its a bit heavy.
Hi Catherina,
The problem I see with front shifting - under the assumption your Campy
Veloce drivetrain uses indexed Ergo shifters - is the crank isn't designed
for that system. The simple/cheaper way to solve this would be to keep
everything you have now (while replacing the rim) and add a

Wait a minute: That can't be right! Garth's experiences are way too far out
