Nice! What size of frame?

51...It sucks being short.

Those scramblers are growing on me, especially at that price they sure make a very nice beater.

scrambler ftw

i got mine on a group buy.
frame, fork, cane creek sealed headset and salsa seat clamp for $159 shipped to my door.

very cool. you should take off the other brake lever though!

or atleast route the cable under the wrap for a bit cleaner look. i can understand the need for hooded riding... so comfy

^Not with old school, non-aero levers, homie.

Nice, I'd move the cable and housing to the left and shorten the cable and housing.

nope!

nope!!!!

^^ ;)

I like him.

me too

There is always the option of hooking up the back brake.

Just sayin'.

Yeah I would hook back one up just too look better

like the classic outside routed levers, but i went with cross levers for cleaner look, but don't let anyone change your mind

i did see a converted gyro cable used to connect both levers to one brake, cool safety touch

This person will probably get rid of the useless lever and wrap his wire at some point. They just don't want to seem like they're doing what you're telling them to.

Except, as stated multiple times, not, because the lever is not useless and the housing on those levers is not meant to be under the handlebar wrap.

I can never understand how people recommend or run having only one hood. Wouldn't having one hand with a great hand position just remind you of how the other could be comfortable too, but isn't?

I ride exclusively in the drops, so i have one hood way down low, that i dont use for any reason minus for the brake

lol @ everyone suggesting he route his cable in an impossible manner (without getting new levers)

This is bikeforums man, you leave your logic and good sense at the door before coming in! :D

Rock the old school!!!

Mine even shorter, only 49 cm still a hair taller then my size should be 48 or 47.

He should just cut the cable and reroute it through the downtube shifter. Would look way cleaner.

Or just get a pair of aero levers, carefully drill a few holes and call it a day.
You'll have to drill/file the holes at an angle and get some flexible housing. Rubber gromets wouldn't hurt either.
