Per Harry Brogan:
suggestions as to what additions might be needed.


I like sound of the flip-flop dropouts.

"Needed" is probably the wrong word, but once you start riding it
maybe think about handlebar extensions - the ones that curve
inwards. I mount mine canted slightly downwards and wrapped
with handlebar tape/

I find a number of comfortable hand positions with them. Not
quite as comfortable as riding on hoods but close enough and with
more variety.

They are also convenient for climbing hills out of the saddle or
going a little aero into a wind.


Someday someone will have a bright idea to make flat bar extensions that
turn them into drop bars ;-)
