Speaking of which: you could pre-bend your straddle cable to reduce compression loss in the system
I generally use shift cables and Mafac knarbs to do the same, but the Mafac bit wouldn’t mesh with the XT canti. Anywho since the bars and brake lever were a temp fix I didn’t bother pre radiusing the cable, I have now however :)
I’m 90% sure I’m gonna swap out the Inniscycle adapter for a quill and different bars, I just think it’ll look better.

I do indeed, we're at 7 ladies and two chicks who may soon be pullets. One of the chicks however may be a rooster, so a chick name Susan may soon be a boy named Sue.
Our rooster got huge last fall, watched him stare down a hawk with his brood behind him, I was mighty proud till he started attacking my 2 year old (Jack). He has gone to live on a local permaculture farm with a promise that he will not end up in the stew pot.
- our ladies are good down to about -15c, after that they come in the house.
- scraps are a supplement, definitely not a substitute. Oatmeal soaked in bacon grease is a favorite. Brussels, strawberry greens, and peanut butter toast are all favorites.
- if you put bricks around any plants they are destroying it will generally help.
- hold them as much as possible to aclimatise them to human contact, Elsa has gotten so used to me she will nap with me in the sun.

When I’m not silly with hay fever I’ll write up a little blurb about Hot Tubes and their importance to the US bicycle culture as a whole, it goes way beyond the frames.
