I actually feel a tiny bit embarrassed to say this, but I built that up years ago as my first road specific bike... Purchased my flat bar road bike and didn't like the lack of choices for grip, so I put on bull horns. First I had to bend open the shifter clamps to fit them around the bend of the bar and then I used bar tape to go from the shift/brake out to the end of the horns. It was a pretty ugly bike. I didn't ride it very long before I spoke to a LBS by my campus which made the change to a drop bar for me (another customer wanted the opposite, so I just paid 50% labor of the job). I immediately realized why drop bars are so good and laughed at myself for every trying to avoid them.
