Thanks Patrick - I have another similar fixed/free bike - currently in re-hab due to the car-port incident, so that lead me to this version. The bars may look high, but they feel great to me on top or in the drops. I probably spend more time on the hoods than anywhere else, but I'm liking the feel of the drops more with this one. The decals were fantastic to apply. Easy to position and burnish on (I used the shaft of a screwdriver). They lay really flat, with no clear "overlay" past the letters to lift up or look cloudy. Each letter is a separate decal, but the carrier holds everything together until they are stuck down. The seat tube decal that wraps around and overlaps with the letter R is a nice touch. Rocky - I use a Brooks on another bike, but I actually prefer the Avocet, and it is leather after all...if anything I may spring for a Brooks Flyer, but I'm in no hurry.
