"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" And I have bar ends that would work pretty well on the hybrid...
Not bar ends, they are actual handle bars.
We bought them way back in mid 90's, I believe they are made by Scott (famous for Scott bars wa back when)
The shifters etc slip right over the end then slide into place. Then I use foam (beach cruisers) pads instead of tape. No need for gloves.
