Only took it out yesterday, but I think it's fantastic. I can see why people buy expensiver models, too, though I'm content with this one. I should have gotten it sooner.

My wife just gave me a package from our man Rootboy.
Scott, these are the most beautiful bar end plugs I have ever seen.
Stop worrying, they fit beautifully.
I will have a full pic report tomorrow, but I will have to spit polish my Kvale first.
That bike is not currently worthy of these jewels and I do mean jewels.
I owe you figuratively and literally.
There is an intricate, exquisite design on the end that must have taken hours!!!!

That mektronic stuff is great. Just slap it on a vitus of an early carbon LOOK, with either carbon Corima trispokes or early mavice system wheels for the ultimate in weird frenchiness.

I got to check out that bit of kit on a customer's bike that came in for a brake swap.
He told me these either work right out of the box, or they never did properly. Had to do with the quality control of the circuit board. His was a 2nd or 3rd warranty replacement until he got a kit that worked and has been reliable since.

This afternoon the postman delivered a large box. I haven't opened it yet but I'm pretty sure it contains a complete '72 Le Champion Motobecane.
