Thumbies. I suggest the cheapo Falcons from VO, at $13 a pair they work fine. On behalf of a 13 year old boy, I am converting a 62cm Raleigh Super Grand Prix to flat bar from road bar and using them to replace original barcons. Gives the bike a hipster look and should be an easier transition for the young fellow from a bso MTB.

BTW, I can't recall if we got a marathon report from you Sandra?
