I'd buy it, but I prefer the bar end lever cables to go to the top of the bars.

This is too untidy for me.

It is amazing what some people don't notice. I can remember a friend of mine bending the frame of his cycle back in the 60's. He and his brother rode the bike for years without complaint and it was only a couple of years ago that I straightened it.
