I made it!

I tried to join this list last Winter by failed miserably. I own a small bike shop in Minneapolis, MN and only have time to check out the internet, well, seasonally. I was recently reminded of, and referred to this list by a CR member who found a list of vintage and collectibles I have posted at rec.bicycles.marketplace. Our shop specializes in road, touring, and single speed mountain bikes, of all things (!) and I have a bad habit of collecting. Anyway...Winter in the bike biz...Madison Swap meet this weekend...you know how it goes.

I'd feel akward sending a For Sale message as my first contribution to the group...so I won't.

Anyway...back to the subject. Check out the inline top bar mount brake levers at http://www.cyclocrossworld.com. These are really, really slick. Cross racers have been looking for this set-up for years. Last I heard there were only about 100 pairs in the country! I split a pair with a friend. We just use one for the rear (left...of course) for improved dismounts.
