Many of us who tour appreciate bar end shifters. The Surly LHT is a very popular touring bike. It comes with bar ends. Wouldn't surprise me to learn that it's the most popular stock touring bike on the market. I have owned two. (First one was stolen.) When I bought my first touring bike (at the end 1998) I passed on the 1999 Cannondales and went with a '98 model because the '99s had brifters.
