Current Stage Info:
Got tired of the Mothbars after a while, I don't think I'm old enough to need them yet. These are a nice middle ground, and the super low rise I think maintains that vintage MTB look, like an old Klein. I also changed the brakes, these CX-50s practically feel like hydros, and those levers have 2 sealed bearings!
