Keven's is set up the same way, so my guess is there's either some issue with the placement of the cable stops or the routing that precludes the effective use of a brake hanger... or you're just buying the remainders of Keven's mismatched pair. Jeff

Peter, When I replaced the Nitto Noodles on my Hunqapillar with the Bosco bars I just moved the Brooks tape from the noodles to the bosco. I double wrapped the rearward grips and single wrapped the rest. I like the way it feels and looks. http://www.flickr.com/photos/62115944@N08/8553185932/

The Appaloosa is a very cool bike. I had the chance to ride it briefly and the ride is great and comfy. As others have said, it doesn't feel heavy or ride weightybut at over 5 grand! That's custom built bike territory. In that price range you can have a bike any way you likePeterG On Thu
