Non-shifting uses for shifters but still on a bike?
So a co-worker gave me an old 2010 Surly Instigator frame/boat anchor and I am going through parts and such to build it up and kind of want to go single speed. However I have some shifter/brake lever combos and was thinking maybe use the shifter for something else and was curious if anyone has ever thought about it or done something crazy like that? I can probably scrounge up some brake levers or just go and buy some Avid Speed Dials but why not go crazy.
