    MMMM.... thumbshifters.....

    If I could have Shimano build any one custom part for me, it would be a set of 9 speed thumbshifters
    ( and probably a pair of ten speed ones too for the next generation of cassettes surely to come )

    These are what we have needed for years and years. I'm going to buy a set as soon as I can find a
    US dealer.

    I had seen pictures of the prototype last year and thought they looked like a great idea, but
    dismissed it since very few good ideas ever make it to production.

    Then last week somebody on the bikelist.orginternet bob email list
    mentioned them as available and not too expensive.

    I've never done business with Forge, but generally speaking doing business directly with UK
    suppliers is not too much of a hassle. They do speak a variation of the English language 😉
