A New Pair of Horns
I've had my Specialized Sirrus for well over a year now. And on the very few longer-ish rides I've taken—I've definitely wished I could alter my hand position on what had previously been a pair of straight handle bars. So this week I determined to add a set of bar ends onto my bike. The debate was between an ergonomic, rubberized set vs. a chrome, mountain bike-style.
So based on some solid advice from a handful of co-workers and friends, I (obviously) chose to go with the chrome and I'm pretty stoked on the results. It works aesthetically and after a ride around the hood with the Kyality Kids, I was stoked to be able switch up my hand positioning. So now I've got a bulldog car and bull-horned bike... nice.

Gorgeous. Well done.
ReplyDeleteLooks tight bro. looks tight.
ReplyDeleteI just picked up an 09 Sirrus Sport and am in the market for some bar ends. Yours look great and I think I will have to do the same. Did you keep the tilt the same as you have in your pic after using for a while?
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, I liked the history of family cars. Can't believe your dad had a Le Car!
Actually, I've been thinking of moving them up slightly to give me more of an upright position for climbing. Thanks for the note!
ReplyDeleteAnd we actually owned 2 Le Cars!
