Fenders -- The SKS Commuters currently on the Giant.
Bell -- The one currently on the Giant.
Saddle -- I have a couple spares, nothing special. Maybe I will ask for a B-17 for Christmas.
Bars -- The ones off the Fuji along with the Shimano V-Brake brake shifter units. I will need to add bar-ends.
One thought I have had in passing is to buy a road (curl) bar which Nashbar has that will fit an MTB stem. I would then need new shifters and brake levers. If I could find some clamp-on downtube shifters I would seriously consider them (I don't have braze-on fittings in that area). Then I would just need brake levers and handlebar tape. I was riding a mid-90's Miyata touring bike last week that had downtube shifters and loved it.
Does anyone know where I can find clamp-on fittings for such shifters?
