dont forget GB pound is a buck 60,or thereabouts, so that boosts the cost,
International Currency Exchange.

think Engineered Polymers, after all carbon fiber composites is soot encased in plastic ..

& plastics tend to be lighter than most metals..

Any alternatives to the 3sp shifter for Sturmey Archer hub?
yea there are thumb and grip shifters, and the trad trigger
I find the new shift box lighter action
than the traditional trigger was.. and being a polycarbonate it wont rust
like the trigger shifters do,[ especially that pawl in the lever.. ]
