I know, I know. No one likes snake fangs with the brakes, but I don't have a shorter reach stem so they would have been too far out if the hoods weren't pulled back.



The cockpit - basically the brakes, bar and shifters from my 82 Conti. I probably could use a few inches more on the front brake cable housing but it works well and holds just seems like it might be trying too much.


Dude, that thing will scare the children.

Awesome!!!




And let me get this straight- because I think it's been kind of glossed over... you somehow broke a Continental?
