sorry if this has already been posted elsewhere (please let me know so I can delete it if it has).
I thought the Rohloff fans and owners might be interested in these links if they aren't already aware of them.
Hopefully this is helpful

There's another one pictured in the current CTC mag:

I spotted these links at the online Moulton forum, of whom a fair few are IGH fans.

No, I missed it - that thumb shifter does look interesting. Here is a translated link, for those who have no German.
Thanks rifraf

Much longer than I ever want to wait again for anything.

How long did it take for your Rohloff hub to be delivered from Bike24 once ordered online?

Great looking bars with great range of hand positions but half a kilo of weight? (Loop H)![]()
Whilst I'm not looking for super fly for my bike 500g has made me stop and take a breath![]()
I don't think my current Reynolds 753 flat bar would come too close to that even with its bar ends.
Definitely a very attractive bar mind you...........half a kilo?![]()
I wouldnt call myself a weight weenie as I only just took off my Brooks B73 but thats some weight to add.

I've never been able to understand this line of thinking - if your bike is already heavy, surely you would want to avoid making it any heavier?
