I cut them down about 2 cm, which turned out to be just right for this bike. I needed some bars with a more swept back profile and with more rise, so I tried out these Sunlite Northroad bars, a set I haven’t tried before. But the bar shape didn’t really work for me, and I ended up setting the bike aside a few years back. Back in 2015 I had replaced the moustache bars with a more upright style, and a short reach, tall stem. When getting the bike up into the shop stand I realized that I still hadn’t solved the ergonomic issues resulting from its large frame (for me). ![]() I thought it was time to bring it back out again for the coming spring weather, and that meant assessing why I wasn’t riding it so much anymore. ![]() While I’ve been working on other projects, my 1973 Jack Taylor Tourist bike has been languishing in my storage area, along with far too many other bikes.
