Current Stage Info:

In its current version I have changed the handlebar by a track-style alloy/"white carbon" piece that I have stumbled upon on a vintage components web site.

Its horizontal part has a dropping shape but the curved part drop is less deep than the original one. I also had to change the stem for the wider 31.8mm diameter. It is 90mm long (vs. the original 110mm stem) and the whole cockpit is much more compact which gives my Lapierre kind of badass front-end and I actually am more comfortable with the new, shorter ergonomics.

I have also put a new Fizik Arione VS black saddle because the previous one was a bit weared.
