Finally got round to getting my P3 exactly the way I want it.

When I bought it it came with 3T aura bars which were nice and comfortable but reasonably weighty, and the big annoyance was that they had upturned bar ends, which did suit the Magura RT6 brakes, which are designed to be flat, they also look way way better this way, and we all no if it looks good it must be fast!

So first I swapped the bars with a 3T Brezza, flat bar ends, and s-bend extensions. This meant re cabling the hydraulic brakes which was good news as both hoses were way to long. The front was hanging out the side and causing a bit of drag. I shortened this so now it comes right out the top of the brake and up to connect to the stem where its got a small zip tie.

The rear hose also previously entered the frame through the side of the top tube, which is a bit odd, as there is space for it to enter in the top along with the gear cables. So I re-threaded it through the top and shortened it so it sits nice and tight to the frame.

All in all way cleaner, more aero and a couple hundred grams lighter.
Very nice - does the stem not need a trim too? or is that to give you flexibility of positions?

Just finished putting this together:

I don't care how wet it is tomorrow, I will be up at first light and tearing around Salisbury Plain.

What is it?
Where from?
How much? (If that's not a rude question)

I like that very much. I want one. Mainly because I already have a set of Schwalbe tyres with orange stripes sitting boxed in the garage.
