I had new handlebars, brifters, and brakes put on my Terry Classic. I'm very pleased with the results - now to re-learn how to ride!

I did EXACTLY what you did to my recently retired terry classic. Looks like we even used the same brakes and bars! I loved her and road her until she had too much rust to be safe, and replaced her with a steel isis I converted to a travel bike by adding canti brakes, a touring fork, and s/s couplers. ENJOY her! Seeing the pic makes me miss my classic. She is one great touring bike!

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