Just bought this ex GPO trade bike recently after searching for one for several months. It's low slung at only 20 1/2" tall (meaning that if I turn the seat innards upside down & lower it as far as possible I can almost get my heels on the floor!) but long enough to accommodate my tall upper body. Nothing fit's me like one of these. It's got heavy duty drum brakes front & rear as well, which don't chicken out in the wet like rim brakes tend to.
I want to re-style this thing, but am a bit stuck when it comes to handlebar choices. I'm looking for something of this general shape, that positions the grips parallel to the top tube..
... But without a built in one piece stem & no roller lever brake mounts. Is their anything available in America that fits the bill? The closest thing I can find in the UK are moustache bars, but I'm not ready to compromise just yet!
