Seeing this reminded me of the Magura HS11 levers I've had waiting to be bodged onto my Midge bars for a while.
So today I did this:

Nice idea but stop being so silly. Pair of BB5's will do the job nicely.
Very cheap. Work really well, easy to adjust.

The frame & fork don't have disc mounts, so BB5s would be no use at all!
I also happen to have copious amounts of Magura spares - I run them on 3 bikes - so I had all the bits I needed already.

I am truly eating my hat here, good work guys.

Good work on the Maguras, but did you employ a three year old to wrap your bar tape?

Ya-boo-sucks to you!
The main bit of tape is neat as - but I tried adding an extra bit over the clamps from what was left over, and you're right it did look a tad messy
so now removed!

Getting there, bar end shifters added and the cable exit is bob on.
Just need some 700c Disc wheels. And decide if to go MTB 3x9 or road double with MTB 9 speed cassette and mech.
After years of trying to make my MTBs road like, I'm finally making a road'ish bike MTB like

Oldgit I was in bob jacksons last week looking at getting a road swaying toward mtb frameset knocked up with mtb stays but for 700cc with clearance for 2.2 29er tyres if wanted but with all rack, guard mounts like a tourer with rolhoff dropouts and disc mounts drop bar angles , maybe s and s couplings too oh and seat stay coupling for belt drive sillyness too.
Just to decide now as It's that or a motorbike (or a singular peregrine ;))
