I thought the previous pics of the handle bar would suffice .

I did not know the ugly stem   also needs to be seen . . . .

Tomorrow.

Personally, I think the frame should go to Bogus for a colour code with the grips...

hell boss that would be so maadhir

 

 

Bar and Grips fitted. 

The grip clamps are very very gold.    

Rode around the street in front of the house and the bar en grips felt good. 

Steering did not really feel much different at the moment.  

Will take it out for the long ride this weekend and see. 

colour scheme to aim for

Haha,this was a crazy idea,but respect to the dude.He used a mouthgard to help with some of the road vibration(rattling like a mother).And aparantly his arms took more of a beating than his legs.

First ride impression: did a 2hour ride at Modders yesterday. Man the rigid is awesome. Super stiff and pointing the bike where you wanting to go is so easy. Light and fast. Takes some getting used to not having the front compress when cornering. I need to practice more thought the rocky bits.front is very light so picking up the front wheel and placing it was fun. Current conditioning will need to improve as I felt knackered last night from the harshness of the ride. Great fun.
