(I'm thinking sawn-off piece of > drop bar mounted side-on) When I've "mind-built" my multi-gear, fixed QB, I've always envisioned the old Trials rider hack of putting the shifter on the seat tube, running the cable down to the bb and noodle-ing it aft. There used to be some widgets for multiplying cable stops so that you could run hyraulic lines. Keep an eye out for old chainstay-sized stops. My Zeus has that - you can it see pretty well in the second photo. http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2006/cc060r2-cc-jim0506.html Mine was part of the build kit I inherited, but I see them around. - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes "You must be the change you want to see in the world."
