And I love your bike. Nicely done.

I was helping my son fight through drop bar discomfort on his mid-90's Trek. We settled on bullhorn bars mounted near saddle height. His wrist and shoulder pain is gone and he's enjoying the local trail nearby. I have liked his setup so far albeit with limited experience, and while I won't change my current bikes to bullhorns, they're on the radar for a someday build. Instead of the cheapo chinese bars we bought for him, I'll cut the ends off a spare set on my box o' crap to lessen the reach, and fit some bar-end bullhorn brake levers, maybe with interrupters.

Just throwing it out there for consideration.
