Wow Thomas, that's quite in depth. I've thought about trying to set up a davinci system between my Noodles and Albatross. How, and where did you set up the davinci couplers? i can't really decide what would be an optimal place for them. It looks like we have similar setups. I have the Paul motolites on my Atlantis and I find myself changing bars ALOT, costing me tons of dough in cables and housing.
Let me know if you've got any suggestions, a good place to start, and also possibly a shopping list. When I take on a project like this, i end up in the bike shop three or four times in that same day. It gets to be frustrating. Thanks!
