It's a....bicycle!

Had a call from Mercian cycles on Saturday, my bike is ready - minus handlebars!

The shop had lost part of the order so hadn't planned to supply either seatpost, stem or handlebars. On searching around I have found that finding anatomic handlebars (traditional drop bars with an additional "kink" in the bars just below the brakes - I find them more comfortable to ride), of the required 26mm diameter for a threaded headset, is nigh on impossible. I will have to resort to picking up Japanese Nitto brand bars.

Anyway, the good news is that it's getting there.

Paul.
