She wants to leave her shifting levers on?!

OK, so, my girlfriend is working on a ss Conversion and she insists that she wants to leave her Shifting leavers on just cause she likes them aesthetically on her bike? This personally drives me completely nuts! I DONT SEE THE POINT! If they're not connected to anything then why have them? Am I being lame? or should I just get off the subject? It's a drunken rant I know, But what do you think?

tie 2 cow bells to the end of the wires :)

Sti or mtb type?

let her keep them on. there are loads of reasons. and we will never understand any of them

Downtube shifters or Brake Lever/Gear Shifters?

I think he meant the shift on the frame, you know those old type?

Down tube shifters! I dont give a shit what kinda shifters they are I think it's retarded! She is a stellar girlfriend by the way. But the shifters are making me rethink the whole thing???

i think she is telling you something ;}

I like beer.

good documentary on Hawkwind on BBC 2 by the way?

Are there bosses on the frame?

Bosses? What you talkin bout willis?

touche' hippy!

Metal stubs that the gear levers fit onto.

dump her.

tell her to hook them back up again, one gear is for queers....or the shitload of wankers i see on old st these mornings wobbling up trying to put their feet in double toshis from the lights.

dump her.

+1 And sell her frame to fund a project for yourself. You know it makes sense. :)

dump her.

Ouch! Aint gonna do that. Other than the shifters couldnt find a better one. She's a keeper.

She's clever. When she realises this whole single speed malarkey is quite silly and wants gears back again, she's not hacked apart a nice road bike.

They're usually right about everything else. Why would it be different this time round??

Just tell her you accidentally knocked the bike over and cough (only) damaged the shifters.

Remove, get rid of the bosses and you're sorted.

Why do you really care though...You wont be the one riding it...

dump her.

she's gonna dump you when she finds out you've plastered this all over the internet :-)

Well at some point you will actually meet me and then you will meet her and then you will all take the piss out of her and then she'll dump me. Fuck sake I've destroyed my future with this post! I'm going to need you all as best friends to help me get through this.
