Here are the actual bar ends, in case you ever change your mind.

My Swift has been out of commission since Monday. The bottom bracket appears to be seized in the bottom bracket shell. Liberal soakings in WD-40 and persistent banging on the wrench with a hammer to try to crack the lockring free have been futile. As a last resort, I will take the bike to my dad's house and have at it with a 350 ft/lb impact gun, which will either rip the lockring cleanly out (preferred), or rip the teeth of the lockring/tool to shreds. I don't know if the bottom bracket seized-up in the shell because of all the wet-wether riding I had been doing, or because the person who installed the bottom bracket forgot to use anti-seize on the threads. Either way, this sucks. I hope to have a shiny, new bottom bracket installed by the end of this weekend. Wish me luck.
