Now! Sporting Dirtdrop Handlebar

After debating (in my head) which dropbar to replace the riser bar on my Schwinn Crosscut. Which one? The Randonneur dropbar (Sakae) or Mountain dirtdrop (WTB)? 
The decision was made when I got in my hand a dirtdrop style quill stem (Rito branded) and Sun Tour Command 7sp shifter. 

Cha..cha..cha.. change!

The problem was how to get the WTB bar into the quill stem, after that the rest was easy. And now it's complete. And now almost all my bikes sporting dropbars, bar my all mountain bike (my '99 Intense Uzzi SL) and it's the only alumunium bike in my stables while the rest of them is steel.

You Complete Me

The Sun Tour Command 7sp shifter is compatible with Shimano 400 LX derailleurs with HG 41 cassette and narrow chain. Although I must get used to it, but right now the bike fits me well with this setup.
