\r?\n> I see a cable housing curving from the left bar-end shifter, around the
\r?\n> he and then following the top tube. I also see a rear derailleur shift
\r?\n> lever on the downtube, front derailleur or chain guide, two dark
\r?\n> handlebar clamp bolts, wing nuts up front. From "Miroir Sprint" No.195,
