    2x headlamps 1x computer 2x hands

    When I rode fixed I had only one brake lever and b*ggar all
    else on the bars when riding no-handed so brake levers and
    shifters are valid items to include and not to be assumed
    as fitted to all bikes, but I think to be regarded as
    street legal one hand and one brake lever have to be the
    base point.

    I also have 4 front lights, none of which is on the

    I too was just thinking "what about hands?". Mine has
    brakes too, and gear levers, nyah. And cork tape - that's
    gear innit? A total of 10 bits of gear & I don't even have
    a computer. Sometimes I hang a supermarket bag on it, but
    calling that gear that would perhaps be stretching a
    point...

    Ok then, 2X bar ends + 2X gripshifts + 2X brakes +
    original 5 = 11.
