Looks for all the world like a satellite shifter for bar ends.

Sweet bike. Who'd a thunk rigid front, sus rear wouldn't take off 🙂 What would we have called it? Softtail was used for full sus with a little squish at the back.. so a hardnose?

I loved those xt cranks that just said shimano on them and the 770 ht2 cranks. Very understated.

Agreed, more colour required design teams!

I got to ride one of those. Around a bike shop car park. You cannot imagine how terrible it was. It was crazy flexible under pedaling. The staff all had the same experience.

But i guess you have to start some where
