Well-found and nicely shared, Wheezy; many thanks.

I do wish a variety of bends were available, but this is a much needed option in any case.

I've been very pleased with my own setup, mounting the Rohloff shifter to a T-bar *above* my handlebars. It always falls readily to hand, and allows me to use any handlebar i choose.

Best,

Dan.

That's a clever idea.

I have always loved the look and the idea of the Van Nicholas bikes, but I have never seen one in the flesh.  The power of marketing is not wasted on me then.

There have been split bars out there for a while, but I think these are the first carbon bars.

Happy with my shifter inexpensively jammed into the end of the bar for now...
