They are coincidently the Surly “sunrise” bars that ship with the surly lowside bike lol.

I knew i wanted a pair when i saw them on this Peter Verdone bike:

 

That looks super rad, but also looks like it'll strike a pedal constantly.

 

Intently following your Soma reconfigure, that frame deserves to be built up with some unique parts, and the rigid fork is a great start.

surely with a bit of welding, filing and some body putty you could have gained a few thousand more km out of that groupo?

Ja....it does seem a waste to chuck that lot....

Was that when Gert still owned the store?

 

Yes. I beleive he still had the store then. They were in Queenswood at the time, where the pet shop is now

I did "save" mine too with a weld but it only gave me 2000km extra.

 

It was by luck that I saw that new (warranty claim) frame for sale in the classified section at an awesome price. The rest is history.
