That's really cool. I just got my Double Cross built up too. I considered bullhorns because I always liked bar ends... Think I'm just gonna get some bar ends before I go on a big bike trip. I also thought about disc brakes but with everything else I wanted, couldn't afford them, so this is my first bike with canti. I don't love them.
What I do love is the frame.

It's the perfect combination of stable and responsive. Exactly what you need in a commuter. Good luck with your ride!
