  yeah, but do you have the recessed threaded fixture that goes in the middle?

  Hi!

  A mate wants to change the drop bars on his nice old road bike to swept back bars. I was hoping to use bar end shifters for this, as it has quite a nice look!

  I actually have some really nice DA down tube shifters that I could use, if someone has the fixtures for mounting them into the end of the bar?

  If not, I am after some full bar end shifters, indexed or not. I think they have 6 speed so nothing is going to index really anyway...

  Happy to ride to collect within reason, I am based in Camberwell.

  Thanks!

  edit: Handlebar will be 22.2mm and will require the cable to be externally run, rather than internal as on modern tt bars!

  This is my parents massive cactus. They bought it about 38 years ago from Newcastle university. We think it is about 65/70 now. Grown so much in situ that it can never leave the house now as it is about 2m tall and 2.5 wide!

  We last repotted about 15 years ago. it was an 8 person job. One of the arms got a little nick out of it when we were doing it, and it turns out the cactus has some kind of self defence method. Everyone's eyes and throats started clamming up and we had to leave the house for a few hours!

  I have never had a conventional xmas tree when I have been home to newcastle. But when your cactus is so sweet, you dont miss them!

  I went to sleep just after the first Saints 3rd quarter touch down. I thought there was only going to be one winner! I only have a recent/passing interest in the NFL, but they seem to have been really good for a while, but also serial bottlers?
