I believe what he is saying is that he took an old set of cantilever brake levers and turned them into inline levers with a cable that continued on to older road bike levers at the front of the butterfly bars. The thing is I can't quite picture or figure out how to transform the old canti levers into an inline lever. Anyone out there a lot sharper then me that can somehow explain this to me?
Hi BigFinner, actually the old non-aero drop bar levers were converted to inline. The standard road cable end is an axial barrel, just the same size as a housing ferrule. You can run housing into the lever from below as well as from above. the canti brake levers were the end of the run.
