New Bicycle Product, "Retroshift"
 

Here is an interesting new product. Called Retroshift. It is a brake lever with a shifter mount on the upper part of the blade. Downtube or bar end shifters mount there, friction or indexing. It turns out to be a very natural shifting motion when you're riding on the hoods. Doesn't work from the drops unless you have freaky long fingers.

Pic on my bike, those are Simplex friction shifters and this 30 y/o Peugeot can now be shifted from the bars.

I've no connection other than paying them $119.

Steam punk proper.

Did you buy those?

I love the BRANDING looks good

Bought at the bike show on Saturday. They are sold out until sometime in April, but had a few sets at the show.

The mount is bolted to the front of the lever blades, so I should be able to move them to some other aero brake levers. I think those Tektros are pretty blah.

Planning this for my son's bike as well, but with Shimano indexing for him.
