Got some new brakes I did, decided to keep the brifters and instead bought some nashbar canti's, they work really good with my levers. I just got plain sick and tired of the travel agents so i could run V-brakes, these canti's have more braking power IMHO. Got a really good deal on them to bought them "used" for 12bucks, they by no means have been used just came without pads. Also at this point still running without fenders i still need to get a new set to replace my broken front, and i finally replaced the bungee on my favorite pannier.
