I'm happy to hear that the Bleriot is at least somewhat redeemed! I have my STI shifters on mine, I won't give them up, see no reason to. I couldn't begin to say whether the Bleriot feels faster or slower than my Ti "racing" bike. The factor of the motor (after years off the bike) is WAY bigger than any other factor. But I can say for sure, that the Bleriot is way comfy. If I ever give in to the temptation of trying moustache bars, maybe I'll try bar-ends. Cheers, Steve
