The generator light on that suicide-shifter notsurewhattocallit is freakin' awesome. I had one of those like 50 years ago.

I love this concept, pretty common actually: tons of spacers but levers positioned like 1-2cm below top of the bars..

The reach is already like 40cm, you might as well put the saddle on the stem next.
