I saw that but it still isn't a brifter.

It is just not acceptable that after paying the big bucks for the state-of-the-art geared hub, users of drop bars are forced to hack something together for mounting the shifter. The real solution is brifters. And if they could be brifters with optional cable pull-rates to handle caliper brakes or canti/linear brakes, I would *really* be tickled.

I've wondered if anyone has tried mounting the Rohloff twist-grip at the end of a drop bar. Would it work with the cables coming out at that right angle to the bar?
