Turned out great! Should be perfect for your 'cardio bike'.

Thanks buddy. Rode it around Savannah for a few hours with @kingfish254 on Monday. Performed perfectly, it was a casual cruise, nothing too strenuous (except for the afternoon heat). I will need to adjust the stem/handlebar height a bit before doing any real cardio work in it. My neck and shoulders were not happy being hunched over. Gonna check my stash for alternate barsTurned out great! Should be perfect for your 'cardio bike'.

Here’s the Humpster and my strandie, Schwummit, together, per your request.
Yes, I did change the grips on the Humpster, the Schwinn 30s repops are just too small, I found myself squeezing them too much to hold on. Put on a set of Thompson ball ends.
I’m currently looking for a decent Schwinn upright stem to bring the bars up a bit more and allow me to angle the headlight into a flatter position. I don’t want higher bars, then it would become another strandie, I want it to keep it’s ‘racier’ look.

Thanx Doc, that's a killer pair! I'm surprised at how much higher the front end is on the Schwummit. Now I gotta pick a favorite... somehow
