Wow, that truly is a classic, in every way. Gorgeous, elegant color. Really sharp.

How come you have to re-learn to ride it? It looks really nice, congrats.

I've never used drop bars and this type of shifter/brake lever

I love the color--deep navy--and she looks nice, fitted out with her new stuff. ENJOY!

Very cool. I have my new Salsa Poco bars sitting on the kitchen table, but my change over isn't as big as yours.
It looks great. Let us know about your ride.

Bleu looks gorgeous! I love her color...beautiful.
I just made a similar change to my classic as well. I did a few things a bit differently to suit the way I will ride her, but she looks very similar (unfortunately in a not so interesting silver color). I'll have to post before and afters as well.
Great job and enjoy!!

Thanks all - I keep staring at her. I'm very happy.
It's funny about the color. When I bought her, they came in Champagne or Indigo Blue. I really wanted Champagne, but no one had one available, so I "settled" for Indigo. Now I love the color! And despite what some may say, I did not buy a blue Subaru just because it matches my bike........

Snap, your car "happens" to match your bike? That is really cool!
