Albatross_BrakeShifter

Interupter brake levers used as main brake lever along with Shimano Bar End shifters on Albatross Handlebars.

Used Tektro levers designed for 31.8 mm diameter bars. I had to use the larger diameter levels in order to clear the bar end cable housing.

I also had to make my own bushing to step down the 31.8 mm lever to fit the Albatross handlebars and clear the shifter cables.

All of this was done to create a clean handlbebar grip area where I can vary my handgrip during my touring.

The Cinelli Cork bar tape will be coated with amber shellac to hopefully match the Brooks B-68 saddle.

Note: this is the left side of the handle bar.
