Have been looking at one of these and have a question ..... They seem to have extra brake levers on the flat of the drop bars .......
can these be removed ??? and use the brakes on the drops ?????
Do they both have cables installed ????

I like the look of these as they are a little more relaxed than there full on road range .... I did have a focus variado for a couple of days and the quality was very good but i found it too much of a stretch , so i sent it back with wiggles 7 day test ride program .....

    My wife has just bought one, and I am picking it up from the courier's depot tomorrow so I can let you know what it's like in a couple of days.
    She was quite pleased that it had the cross-top levers as she's anxious about having to always brake from the hoods/drops.
    They can be removed easily, though you might need new cable housing. They use the same cable as the main lever.
