Brakes
- Jeez, I can’t tell you how many times they have saved me from certain doom. Even now that I’ve learned how to skid, I still use them more than pedal resistance to slow down/stop. P.S> Be careful skidding when good looking girls are around. I've launched myself into the air a couple times.
- I ride on the hoods ½ the time. It is nice to have one for each hand.

Bottle cages
- It’s nice to be able to simply reach down to grab a drink. You could attach bottle cages to the Comp with hose clamps but that would be fuggly.
Note a: brake b: bottle cage.


The two fish cage is actually really nice because it lets me put the bottle anywhere and I can have it higher for a small bottle and lower for a larger bottle.
