I started going through the second 24" road bike for the kids,
Im really enjoying servicing it and started noticing the excelent handwork in the lug work.

Im upgrading it to campagnolo gs brakes to match everything else GS on the bike.


As some of you know my Nelli is already riding 30kms with me.

My boy is another situation.

He has a nice aluminum TREK MTB I built up for him, but I want to get him on the roadbike.

He is not so agile and could never let go of the bars to shift the DT shifters


my idea

I think if i could figure out how to put straight bars or something that looks and works good on it, and can some shifters on the bars then it might just work for him.

he can "just" straddle the top tube.

my LBS has a box of nos vintage weinmann straight brake levers.

what to do about shifters?
