The bars are Soma Oxford, and the brake levers are Shimano Deore XT M732. You can kinda see in this photo how the shifter cable lays against the brake lever clamp (on the left side):...

I built up an ~’88 Rockhopper Comp for a friend to their specifications using parts from my bins, mostly early 90s DX and XT. I found the frame in a junkyard so I got to have fun with paint and tried...

Picked up an '83 Schwinn Sierra out of the junkyard a while back. It's on deck for an overhaul after I do some housekeeping.
