That said, I'm thinking that flat bar may be the way for me to go - braking and shifting is separate ("brifters"
are expensive and not always easy to operate with bulky gloves) and I could get some of those bar mitt thingies to keep the hands toasty (my new gloves are certainly a step up, but I don't know if they'll cut it at lower temps).
