The water bottle is still secure, and it lets me put a coffee cup in it. It also looks better, and when it is empty, is safer with nothing sticking up.pekingducknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-13535153926541069812009-12-14T15:58:26.992-05:002009-12-14T15:58:26.992-05:00Zooos! is looking really good.

Even though my heart belongs to Campy, that Shimano group is sweet!<br /><br />Charlotte, I would put the bottle/cup holder on the right if your Dad is a lefty. I like to keep my dominant hand on the bars and use the left for drinking or snacking, but that's just me.PJDodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290436786854791467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-54953793476176326202009-12-12T09:56:52.036-05:002009-12-12T09:56:52.036-05:00Hey, found a contender!

Why is it bikers are only supposed to suck water or sports drinks? Why can't we sip coffee (in my case, tea) and put the cup back in a nice, upright cup holder?Steve Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734897261007112736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-37836061478428338992009-12-10T13:29:41.905-05:002009-12-10T13:29:41.905-05:00Hi Filigree, None of the above, these are good ol&...Hi Filigree, None of the above, these are good ol' made in America <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00131YQO6/ref=asc_df_B00131YQO6981906?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=googlecom09c9-20&linkCode=asn&creative=380341&creativeASIN=B00131YQO6" rel="nofollow">Wald handlebars</a>.

Probably not as long-lived as the Brooks (they are more comfy due to a thinner leather, I think), but nice!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989502925369231042noreply@blogger.com
