Cesur made a adaptor for 7/8speed. Had to phone them 7 times before they even send it. When it arrived the thread was croocked. So i drilled it out and whelded a new nut on the inside. Now it works great.
But I would never order again at cesur....

Another handle bar

Awesome ride man, you are unquestionably talented!!
A quick question: even though this clubman handlebar looks much better than the TT chopper one you previously had on the fink, I was wondering which one made the bike more comfortable to ride and handle? Can you please take a pic of you riding the bike? I just got a Ghostrider (same frame) and I cannot decide which of those two I want to replace the stock handlebar with; the riding posture (back angle) matters a lot to me so a pic of you riding the fink would help me figure out whether I should go with one or the other!
Many thanks in advance
You might not need another set of handlebars. I had troubles with the handlebar position on my Ghostrider, my neck was killing me after 10 kms (remains of whiplash 10 years ago). Decided to switch the stem around and I was sorted. Also gave me a space for the headlight:
Unless you really don't like the stock bars, you could give this a try.

Lol, your comment is very opportune! Actually I had already decided that if I ended up replacing the stock handles w/ the clubman ones I would switch the stem around just like you did (saw your bike in the Electra gallery). That way I would not have to be leaned too forward which defeats the purpose of a semi-recumbent bike.
My problem with the stock handlebars is their width (29.5"). I really liked how my townie handled (25.6") and I am looking forward to having the same feel for the Ghostrider. In that sense, both the clubman (28") and the hopper TT (26") could be potential improvements. AT least that is what I expect
joziar, What is the black seat you had on the Phat in the first pic? Is it a Brooks?
Sorry for the late response
But many thx for all the comments !!!
The seat on the first Phat is from Phat itself. Soft springs so very bouncy. Had to fix it a couple of times they're not that good @ quality
@ Estuche: The TT Bar was better cause of the more relaxed riding, The motorcycle bar makes it a bit more leaned forward. But it gives better handling
Sheers !
