True, they're not the prettiest and I probably don't need them as I don't shift very often, but I have a bad back and I don't think my core is good enough for me to reach the downtube regularly. Plus, I'm friction shifting at the moment and having the levers nearby is good for making the little adjustments that come with being new to friction. But yeah, they are ugly.
