    …rail bike, in fact an ASR5. So, I’m trying to get bang for buck, yet be light with it although this my do it all bike so it needs also to be robust, as well as suitable for 24hr events. The bike is current full XT, Thompson post & stem, ringle black flag wheels with tubeless Nics and a 120mm F120. It has a bontrager 700mm bar which is an obvious target, but what can i do to smarten her up?

    I’ve just bought a an new XT cassette and knc gold x10sl which led me to this idea. So starting with the bars, suggestions?

    I could have sworn you were going to say turd. Anyone else?

    Sprinkle glitter on the floor, put glue on it and let it roll around in the glitter 😆

    As we all know you can’t polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter 😀

    I thought “table” was as likely as turd.

    I like the Polish.
    Lovely sausages.

    And the French.

    Turds I can take or leave, tbh.

    i did a 3d render of a shiny turd and it was so life like it was blocked by ImageShack, I was so proud.

    So let me get this straight:

    The OP is Polish and wants to take a Yeti to a French bar?
    They’ll never let it onto Eurostar, Shirley?

    If the Havens are a little hairy when it comes to handling, you could shave a little off the ends.

    A shaven haven?
    It’ll never catch on.

    Perhaps if he shaved the Yeti he could get it on the train that way?

    Fnar, a shaven haven.

    No ones taking this seriously are they?

    A can of day glow yellow paint would brighten up any turd, might turn out a matt finish, or satin, as in Dog Sat In..

    I don’t think you lot are taking this seriously at all.

    Which one’s Max, btw?
    The Yeti or the Pole?

    Is Max clean shaven?

    He’s Euro, of course he is.

    I DON’T KNOW!!!!!!!!

    Not a very Polish name, is it, Max?
    I think the Yeti’s called Matt, but it’s all getting a bit confusing know.

    Some people just don’t WANT helping, do they?

    It sounds like its got decent kit on, so apart from some fancy bars there’s not much else you can do, unless you smother it in silly coloured anodised shite, or win the lottery and go insane at Poshbikes…
    Have you thought about giving it a polish?….

    You couldn’t french polish a turd, for one thing the meths would probably dissolve it, and there’s far too much vigorous rubbing involved (am I helping?). I know a Max who’s clean-shaven (he would be, he’s only 11).

    What if you froze it first?

    I reckon you could kill someone by stabbing them with a frozen turd, then just leave it on the pavement.

    No one’s going to dust a turd for ringprints. That’d just be silly.

    the old flash frozen turd attack ploy 😈

    Been done?

    You’d have to use someone elses turd, really.
    DNA etc.

    And you’d probably have to wait ages for a really sharp one.

    I reckon sharp pointy icicles would be easier to find though – who do you know who craps offensively pointy turds? It would make a great episode of NCIS though..

    S’not a goer really is it?

    Suppose you could mould one into the desired shape, THEN freeze it.
    No idea which compartment you’d put it in though.

    Anyway, OP, hope this has helped.
    Good luck shaving the Yeti.
