Just a word on the Ultralight Chuck Harris mirrors ... he isn't getting any younger. He still appears quite vigorous, but no one lives forever. If you think you want one, order it now.
They're not as light as the plastic ones, but they're nearly indestructible, and their cool factor is unbeatable.

Sounds like the take-a-look mirror.

I have a take a look mirror, too.
I actually mounted it to my helmet. I love it. I couldn't be without it.

I have a LTD Mirrycle for Bontrager Isozone handlebars on my Trek and LOVE it! I knew I was in the market for a new bike and wouldn't necessarily want a handlebar mirror on my bike, so I bought the Take-A-Look mirror and am still practicing with it. I am right eye dominant, and with the helmet mirror on my left side I have to "look" with my left eye, which involves slightly squinting my right eye.

He's so old school he doesn't even do web sales. If you go to outdoor-pursuits.org and download the February newsletter, there's an ad on page 5 with ordering info. I'm on my phone right now or I'd copy the info here.

It sounds like you've already decided which mirror to buy, but if you're still considering options, take a look at this one, the Cycle Star bar end mirror:

(There's also a handlebar mounted version)
I started out with the mirror that you were originally thinking about buying. It was fine (I moved it to my commuter bike), but I found it vibrated too much to be really useful. I switched to the Cycle Star mirror about two years ago and LOVE it. Even when I'm riding over a rough road surface it doesn't shake much. I couldn't imagine riding without it now.
