They showed me how to register my lock properly (form was confusing), so I'm all good now.

Thanks Ben, for the advice. Since I am more of a hybrid guy, how about bar ends like these ones (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JNLJEgTbN3E/UGR5nAy2OeI/AAAAAAAAADQ/UjXsqRbh-9A/s1600/DSC_0062.jpg)? Looks...

I'm 5'9" and my frame size is an "M" or "L" (can't remember now). I tend to sit pretty upright when I ride (maybe because I grew up in Europe :lol:)

Thanks for the response, djmcnz! Pretty sure the Comp actually comes with a set of "Stix" lights. I've emailed Specialized about the shifters, but like you I'm thinking it's the microSHIFT ones.
