bwilli88....looks like your bike was being well used even with the drops. Personally....I stopped riding mine due to ergos but looking forward to putting it back into the rotation again now that I've converted it to a flat-bar.
I recently found myself without a geared bike after trading my geared hybrid for "another" single-speed. I'm hoping my converted "dust-collector" will fill the niche

Thanks blakcloud....couldn't have done it without your parts. Don't know how long I'd be searching and scratching my head trying to sourcing everything.
Come one Spring!

Kinda of new to road rigs (well, at least newer road rigs ). Just bought a bike with a 9 speed 105 group and really want to go with trigger shifting on a flat bar. Do these Microshift Mezzo TS39's work with road derailleurs / cassettes? Add says for use with mountain drivetrains? I assume I would probably need to swap for an 8 speed cassette with a spacer?
