If nothing else comes up, that will do. My thanks; I had looked at
Nashbar, but I missed those.

Watch out! Those are not V-brake compatible. Also, they are crappy,
which might or might not offend your sensibilities.

Hmm. Well, I have plenty of cantis sitting around, and the'll work
with this setup, so the lack of V-brake compat is not a serious
problem. "Crappy" may be; I'll just have to wait and see. For the
price, it's not a big loss if they turn out to be sub-Roadmaster
quality.

Tip appreciated!

Well, they're much nicer than most dept store fare, but the fit and
finish are a little sloppier than typical first-quality levers by
well-known makers. The lever blades are coated in some sort of
textured paint that enhances their perceived crappiness coefficient
severalfold. But they are all metal with return springs and seem
totally chopper-worthy, so I bought two pairs. ;^D

It is self-evident: some bikes can never have too many gratuitous
prongs.

I'm just waiting for Sheldon to let me know when the Bayonetz bar ends
come off backorder. I just hope it's before deer season.
