That is an interesting observation.  Thanks.

One thing I have noticed from the bike pictures that included bar end
shifters is there seems to be more cable looped in front of the bars.  If I
decide to add a front rack and bag later, would that extra cable have any
interference from that?  Just wondering if there are any gotchas to be
aware of.

Thanks.
