I was interested to view your braking and gearing set up, I'd been chasing STI levers on ebay for weeks but this seem a more suitable and easier option. I also like the use of the top mounted brakes. Do you find the bar end shifters easy to use? And do they work with MTB groupsets? regards David I’m in the middle of transforming a Giant granite MTB in a raceable cyclocross bike for next season, I’d love to go out and buy a cyclocross bike new but it aint an option with my budget.
