3 spd hub clubman configuration is, indeed, genius. and looking just gorgeous and elegant.
oh and especially like the functional location of the shifter. never seen its location there before.
GS blue lagoon w white stripe FTW.
Thanks! Eventually I'd like to run the shift cable over the top tube via a fulcrum clip and a pulley, then down along the seatstay to the axle. Old school. I like the aesthetic of the trigger shifter, but maybe I'll switch to one of the newer bar ends also. I had one of those before and they're very nice. The way it is now works well, though, so I'm not going to make any changes right away.
