The Passhunter is a blast. Well balanced and versatile, but not a 
heavy-feeling sort of way. It makes a great urban bike.

If you follow the list you know I just learned to add photos.  I solicited 
your feedback a while back and here is what I came up with.  55 CHROMO 
Alba's with recycled bar wrap alternating in black and red but all filthy 
for consistency.  Avid brake levers, shimano bar ends, VO +17 90 mm stem, 
VO braided housing (lousy), and requisite bell.  It's like a whole new bike 
which is actually a '10 Surly Cross Check with prolly 15k miles on it.

They are Dia-Compe Knob Grips. aka dummy levers or stoker levers.  I got 
them from Velo Orange. Cane Creek makes a more lever shaped version.

 John Philip, I really like your cockpit set up and may go a similar 
 route on my vintage Schwinn Cimarron.
  
 I could see the black knobbie gizmo's would offer a nice position 
 variation for longer rides.
 What's the proper term for them?
  
 For longer rides varying my hand position frequently really helps to 
 prevent numbness, aching hands,
 and keeping the blood flow going in my hands and arms.
  
 I also find standing up fairly often on the pedals and stretching the back 
 and backside helps
 on rides of several hours as does moving my foot position on my platform 
 pedals every so often.
 In summary changing position every so often on contact points of hands, 
 feet,  rear is key for me on long rides.
  
 A great cockpit setup is so essential and this thread is most helpful as 
 I have mostly used road bars in the past.
 All you folks have some very nice bikes and cockpit setups. 
 Thanks for sharing.

Sean that 'Night Heron' project is stunning!  How do you like the drum
brakes/sa 3 speed?  Is there anything you have to check with the frame to
know the drum brakes arms have something to brace against?

I put together a motobecane mixte for my wife last year that would be a
great candidate for this sort of wheel set.

For a while now, been using Cinelli gel-cork tape at the grip area , but 
I'll eventually go to the Miesha's Grips chilling in my parts bin.
I'd recommend those, or if you want something more squishy, the  ESI foam 
grips - (which are on my Boscos), are pretty solid and sold at most LBSs.

I use Ergon GPI Biokork grips because I need a wider platform to protect my 
joints: http://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/product/gp1-biokork

I get the look and feel of cork with a little extra cushioning. My wrists 
don't hurt at all anymore since getting these.
