I have the trekking bars on my Ogre and really love them, and will agree with you on the bb7s because I have those on my Disc Trucker. (however it does drive me nuts that I end up having to readjust the calipers every time I take the wheel off, which is why I put rim brakes on my Ogre) I've never have the thumb shifters and would love to try them out. So far she wants the trekking bars but we haven't decided on rim or disc. My wife too is 5 ft tall so it was a real joy to see your build for your wife. I'll see if I can post a pic of my bikes on here too.
Thanks again
