I'm considering a similar revamp of my old specialized hard rock, thanks to friendly suggestions from fellow forum-dwellers I found some nice sweepy humpert bars available on ebay. The humpert lady towns in particular caught my attention.
If the bike had downtube bosses instead of cable guides then I would have jumped on downtube shifters along time ago! Can't really bare the site of a downtube clamp.
something kind nice and artisanal about bar ends on friction.
@powleo what about down tube shifters?
