That was around my take, less for the hardware, but some expectation of labor charges. I noted the $99 list price and BSO status of the donor bike, and wrote a post (deleted) about the futility of the assignment. Then I wrote another (also deleted) along the lines of the one [MENTION=114951]dabac[/MENTION] posted asking for clarification as to expectations. Finally I just decided to see what the rest of you would come up with. I haven't been disappointed. I like the Time Trial bar idea. Meh on the Trekking Bar idea. Just never got with the Trekking Bar look. But the advantage of either is that brake and shifter swaps are not necessary. This is huge. When I converted my entry level $1500 Raleigh Coupe Tandem to drops, the investment in Dura Ace DT shifters, Tektro levers, Civia Emerson bars and compressionless brake housing was worth it ($100) IMO. I did my own work, so $150 LBS labor charges saved. For a $99 Walmart BSO... ... meh... but, who am I.
