Someone shared this link with me today.

Looks like I’m not the only one fed up with overly complicated shifter mechanisms sullying the beauty of the sport.

I like the way Retroshift went about adding the shift mount directly to the brake lever,  I still think my version is a little better since they can be shifted from the tops and drops as well as the hoods.
