Mirror for Electra Townie?
Has anyone found a good rear-view mirror for an Electra Townie? Electra's own mirrors appear not to be designed for a Townie - I inadvertently bought one and it was a hopeless fit.
Hence, I'm on the lookout for a decent retro-style rear-view mirror that would work well on an Electra Townie.

most of the time if I get a mirror I end up with some kind of bar end style. the last one I got at walmart with a small light in it that flashes forward. I don't know what kind of bars you have, but it works well with wide cruiser bars.

I picked this one for my cruiser. Not sure if you would consider it retro, but it's a lot less obtrusive than other mirrors I have.

Being in the UK I'm a bit limited in choices because the Nexus twist shifter is on the right side of the handlebar next to the right grip. Any mirror would also have to go onto the right side of the handlebar as we drive on the left here in the UK. This means that the stem of the mirror needs to be extra long, limiting choices somewhat.

[MENTION=465145]Karmajack[/MENTION]: yes, that looks nice too!

Amazon here has a right- and left-hand version, so you might find the right-hand version on amazon.co.uk
