i like it but there is some weird irony going back to downtube shifters.

my first univega road bike had them, well so did my second bike, gitane.


edit: i know this is a dh forum. cut some slack. :monkey: 's

I have never used a friction shifter on any thing, but on the surface it looks like an awesome idea. I miss being able to spin my handlebars without having to spin them back right away...

thats a pretty sweet looking bike. i like the downtube shifter idea do any of you guys know if you can get those as a totally seperate piece if you were going to build up a street bike.

i think it has the posts offset from the ones on the seatstays so you can run the other size wheel.. I guess they left it on for the demo so you can see wht it comes with.
