hey guys, today I went out to Landry’s bicycles in Boston and bought some new handlebars, I don’t plan on installing them for about a month or so, or at least until I can get some new brake levers. If you ask why, it’s because right now I have mountain bike brakes and shifters, I plan on buying some V brake compatible drops and friction shifters. Here are some pics.
Sorry, it’s a bit shaky, the close up will do it more justice.
It’s by Profile Design (Duh) and is the Italian stem diameter standard (26 mm).
Now for the bike savvy crowd that may come to this blog, you may question my choosing of friction shifters. My answer?
They’re dirt cheap, $10 a pair, and at the same time not that unusable, I’ve found actually that they provide a bit more smoother shifting than the newer indexed shifters, as long as you are careful with moving the lever. Hooray! 
(don’t mind my retarded thumb)

Great Handlebars, although the satin finish does scratch a bit easily.
