I spent the afternoon converting a friend’s Co-Motion Nor’Wester drop-bar touring bike into an upright, all-weather city bike. He’s been primarily riding the bike in the city for the past couple of years, and with no tours on the horizon, we both thought he’d enjoy the bike more if it was set-up appropriately for the type of riding he does everyday. Here’s the parts list:

• Nitto North Road Handlebars
• Thomson Elite Stem
• Paul Canti Levers
• Shimano Dura-Ace Bar-End Shifters
• Brooks B67 Saddle
• Velo Orange Stainless Steel Fenders
• Cork Grips
• Paul Gino Light Mounts
• Fenix LD20 Headlights
• Planet Bike Superflash Stealth Tail Light

We’re both extremely happy about how the project turned out. Everything came together nicely to create what is an attractive and highly functional bike for getting around in the city.
