See the above image?
Now look at this one...can you tell me what's missing?
Yes, that would be my shifter! Apparently my fingers are on steroids! 2.5hrs into a 4hr ride I completely snapped the shifter right off the handle bar into the road while in the biggest gear. Luckily I was able to barrel over about 3 gears but it was still a grind home. Unfortunately the part isn't available anywhere in Boulder and must be ordered from Chicago...looks like no road biking for this girl for a least a week...bummer!

What else does a pro mechanic notice?
Your handlebar tape is dirty. (I can't help it)
I know Doug, it's really dirty. I would never had given it to you like that either...I PROMISE!
I'm actually waiting to change it right before I sell it so it's brand new :) I do have a plan.
How about that shifter, huh? Glad to be back with Shimano this year?!?
A paperclip, chewing gum, zip tie, and a leatherman tool would have that shifter up and running.
