Nicasio 1 upgrade bars and brakes thoughts
Hi folks, I bought a Nicasio 1 basically for the frame as I couldn't afford other things. I think I'm pretty happy with how the frame rides, but I want/need to change the bars and brakes. I have some Jones bars knock-offs I'd like to put on, and I feel I need to get hydraulic disc brakes for the stopping power. I had a hip replacement 6 months ago and safety is a big deal in my return to riding, as is posture.
I got a quote of about $600 (Australian) at my LBS to do the basics that I can't do. Jones style bars mean the options for controls are limited, and the mechanic said the ones that would work were out of stock from his supplier. I guess I'll need to get another quote and hope they have stock available.
Just wondering if anyone has converted to flat bars/changed to hydraulics and has any thoughts on the outcome?
Also thanks for making a Nicasio group mods!
