New bars? Check.
New stem? Check.
Cut steerer to correct length? Double check.
New grips? Check.
Clean bike, pump up tyres? Check.
Take "new" bike for a ride?
Er, no. Snowed in.
Crap...

    Yep, same all round, was all psyched up to ride, thought looks really nice and the extra light from the snow will make it pleasant :)

    No matter how many times i said it, the thought of agonizingly painful cold hands/face put me off :(

    I really doubt it'll be as bad as my head tells me but ruins my enjoyment when i'm in that kind of pain.

    I know what you mean,it got to me a bit yesterday and in the end i took the mtb and rucksack out on a night run for a light shopping trip,it was good,bit hairy sometimes but i am glad i went it helped,once i got out of the estate the roads were not too bad,up north,west etc of here though it looks not even possible to do that so i can understand how frustrating it is.
