I've a pair of those bars but never found an occasion to fit/use 'em???
Am just at Lyon airport awaiting the arrival of my Mother-in-law (and my new Planet X 'Sl Pro Carbon' frame!!!).
So that's kind of like the postman arriving - no?
Also means I may be the first bloke in history to be eagerly awaiting the arrival of his mother-in-law :)
What bits you putting on your road frame?
I've got a Planet X nanolight with SRAM Red and Fulcrum wheels. It rides so nicely. Here's a pic (before I put the wheels on):

nothing special - i've got a 105 groupset and some semi-reasonable Shimano wheels (a Merlin sale bargain) which are going on there along with some other little bits and pieces i've got laying around.
although.....now that i've got a frame that doesn't weigh a ton i'm starting to look around for some lighter components next time i upgrade anything (e.g. i just bought a pro-light carbon seatpost with 'cosmetic damage' from CRC with 70% off :D ) and so, in time, i'm hoping that it might develop into a light-ish and lovely thing.

I've not got on with normal drops before due to an old neck injury so I thought I'd give the midge a go as a very short reach and drop option....plus I think they look cool

Alpkit frame bag. Think my measurements were a bit off at the front as it's a bit bunched but at least it fits! Really like it but not allowed to use it until after Xmas as it's a present....
there's something really satisfying about throwing together a load of old bits that are laying around doing nothing and ending up with a genuinely nice (and dirt cheap) bike.
i've got an Inbred frame laying around that needs a sniff of welding and then it'll end up looking very similar to the above.
but.....surely that seat height isn't set-up for you - either that or On-one have started doing 10" frames
My Pogies from Hotpog arrived today. They look pretty basic but ok for £20. Shame it's not looking cold enough to use them on the overnighter this weekend.
New rear wheel arrived today. My first "proper" singlespeed wheel. Paul WORD hub, White Industries freewheel, Arch ex 29er rim, DT comps, built by JRA (always an excellent build).
