1st ride today on my new ComfyCross not my MonsterCross as I initially called it.
The Lauf fork and Titanium Travers 29er frame made light of any undulations and gravely off road parts of todays local ride.
I got it to get ride of the trail buzz that you get through your hands and arms from riding rigid bikes and if defiantly does that, I was amazed how comfy it is over my old Niner or my current Cyclocross bike.

Thank you @clid61 - the pic was taken a couple of miles outside of Exeter, on the maiden voyage of my newly restored 1950s light roadster. There a couple more from the ride here, along with some of the resto: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/1940s-raleigh-rescue-should-i-or-shouldnt-i.168167/page-9

What drops are those? At first they look like Midges, but have an extra curve.

Clocked up 100 miles on them this weekend and they are fantastic

Miserable gloomy dull weekend. Couldn't be motivated to visit the shed, let alone go for a ride. So here's one from last Friday - I got out for a cheeky lunchtime ride around Salisbury. Typical Wiltshire scene - a pig farms, MoD land and the dull thud of artillary going off somewhere on the downs.

Interesting. I can't afford to try them for the hell of it atm, but it looks at least they solve my main gripe with the Midges (no curve at the end, so you're hands feel like they'll slip out the bed).
I mean to ask from another post of yours - how do you find the Jones H bars? I'm sorely tempted (despite the price tag). I always set up my bars with the bar ends in line of the levers - which is pretty much what the H-bars are naturally. John the Bikemonger sells them not far from here so may ask if I can have a test ride.
