With my superhuman strength, I managed to tear the rear gear change off my Trek 2000's frame. (The lug it hangs from detached from the frame). I found that welding it back on was more expensive than a new frame!

So I bought a new bike - a Cannondale Synapse (not the carbon one) - and not a current model, so it was discounted. Went from 14 gears (2 x 7) to 24 (3 x 8), and I only ever seem to use one!

So now I have two bikes at work, as my car is too small to take either of them home, and one of those is broken.

The old bike had the gear changer on the down-tube, but the new one has the gear levers built into the brake levers, and it looks like yours does too (and you'd only need one). Is that on the preferred side now?
