Agree with the others, bars could do with rotating. I aim the bar ends at the rear brake as a starting point.
Looks fine. I know people with those Cateye lights and I think they're good value, contrary to what's been said on here.Shopping list has been created... Thoughts?

I ride to work most days, so I clock up 70-110 miles per week without actually having to dedicate any time to exercising. I know you hate the idea of it, but stealth exercise is best exerciseNot sure if I should create a new thread, but here goes ..
What do you guys do to train? I mean, who was it Damien? did a double century Ride ? not too long ago
how do you guys do it
Yep, you need a set of flat or moustache bars and a set of integrated brakes and shifters - either ratchet shifters, twist grips or whatever you like. Stick with the same brand (e.g. Shimano - Shimano) for simplicity's sake and pick the shifters with the same number of gears and the spacings should be the same. I'm not sure if all the brake levers do this, but the Shimano ones have two ratio points built-in so you can use them with either mountain bike style brakes or road calipers.Anyone have any experience tips for switching drop bars out to a flat bar?
Yep, my friend just done that for his first step into clipless
Talking of clipless, i was speaking to the guy in Evans about aligning cleats, and he was saying that you should sit on a surface and see which way your feet naturally point out/in and then try to get your cleats aligned similar.
Is this correct? ever since i bolted mine on i just had them done up dead straight. What he says kind of makes sense because i have had knee problems before and maybe its my cleats?

Does anybody TT? It looks like fun.
Do you have to join a club and take part in "official" TTs or do many people just do it for their own enjoyment?
I'd like to try other aspects of cycling such as TTing and track cycling at some point.
