Five days on the new bike now and mostly loving it! Sunny and below freezing every morning this week with midday highs around 35ºF, but now that I'm riding with an aggressive body position I just want to hammer anyway, so staying warm hasn't been an issue. I miss my handlebar mirror though, this Third Eye helmet mirror doesn't begin to compare.

And I was cool with bar-end shifters when I had them on my North Road bars, with the shifters were right there in the primary hand position; on drops I'm not so enamored with them. Anyone know of a model of 8 speed brifters compatible with Avid Mountain BB7s?
