    I think the closest thing I have seen is the "Pinny miror",but these are not easily obtained in the UK.

    As an option there is a similar model at St John Street

    I have personally used the Cyclestar bar end successfully on my Airnimal and touring drops.

    I've got a larger Zefal Cyclops. It does a passable job - I'd rather have a mirror than not - but I don't think bar end mirrors and drop bars are an easy combination. It's hard to set a good angle that you can see from the drops and hoods, let alone other hand positions. Some bikes (but not those with standard STI levers, I think) can fit a mirror just above the brake levers, which looks like it might work better.

    I bought something very similar on eBay from the US, I think it is extremely good - although I don't tend use it /that/ much, because when I'm going fast or in heavy traffic I prefer not to take my eyes off the road.

    That <b><i>is</b></i> the Pinny bar end mirror

    They were sold as this in the UK about ten years ago.

    Where you will get one now I have no idea

    Hi XTCRider,
    I have these bar end mirrors for drop handlebars and they are fantastic. Here are the details for where you can get them:

    Sprintech Rear View Mirrors for Drop Handlebars
    From: Quest Bikes, telephone: 0870 0660454
    They are œ19.95 for the pair + œ2.00 postage and packing

    If you go to:
    http://www.wildoo.co.uk/mirrors.htm
    You can see them described, but this company (Wildoo) don't actually have them in stock, that's why you need to go to Quest Bikes as above.

    Chris
