bullhorns, non-STI brake levers and bar-cons today. An unmitigated success
and I'm rather pleased. The non-indexed shifter for the front derailleur is
very nice indeed. (*flips bird at balky indexed brifter languishing in the
shed* Who controls the horizontal now, huh?) I stop harder thanks to being
able to grab the levers properly, even if travel is a little limited and
I've got a *much* comfier set of riding positions available to me. All
finished off with fsck off orange bar tape.

Stealth orange? You won't be able to find your bars, but the rest of
the bike is easy!

I found my wallet! It was on my seat at work. I panicked at first,
because I was expecting to find it on the desk, and couldn't see it.

I am already a cat magnet with no need for such cheap theatrics. Besides, I have funky reversed [censored]-Ace brake levers for extra pedestrian mangling fun. (I was going to mount them conventionally but that bent the cable too sharply)
