    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.
    Anyway I feel naked without mirrors.

    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:

    http://www.calhouncycle.com/productc...idproduct=1845

    (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.

    I love my Mirrcycle mirror, and it comes for both flat/riser bars and some road bars. They do have different mirrors in both categories.

    I find this mirror to be very stable, doesn't vibrate, and hard to break

    I am going to start with the ultra mirror as we have them in stock at Bike Touring News but I will also look at the Cycle Star. I use bar end shifters so would have to have the handlebar mounted version. I think I saw one today on someone's bike, he said he liked it. I have been procrastinating and practicing my looking without drifting but will put one on this week!

    I've got a Chuck Harris mirror.... I'm hoping somebody else takes up the task and figures out how to do them...
