I have a commitment issues and a conundrum. I've got a Velo Orange Polyvalent that is currently built up in very Riv-ish fashion with drop bars. The bike is shifted with bar ends in friction mode, and the brakes are Paul mini-motos. I've considered putting albatross bars on it at times, but like the drops for longer rides.
It occurs to me that in my parts bin I have an extra set of bar end friction shifters, flat bar brakes, and an albatross bar/stem combo--a complete separate cockpit. It doesn't seem too time consuming to swap back and forth--disconnect the brakes, both shifters, pull the whole cockpit out and plug the new one back in, reconnect the four cables. I know it would be even easier with DT shifters, but I'm not a fan. Has anyone done this? How'd it work out for you?
