[QUOTE=ax0n;6971028]...there's a guy I ride with on occasion that has a Nexus-8 equipped Rockhopper rigid frame with drop bars and slick tires. I see some cheapo road brake levers and drop bars in my future for Hybridzilla, perhaps....[QUOTE]

Check out http://www.bikeisland.com. They've got a cheap, complete set of tektro calipers, levers, cables and housings for 40.00 w/no shipping. I'm getting a set for my singlespeed bulid.
