It's not that gripshift doesn't exist, it's just that having a couple of dozen bikes through the door every day, i can't remember seeing any lately. i see more di2 and fixies🤣

All it needs is a dynamo to get it bang up to date

Just loafing around😉

I'm loving the fashionably slack headtube angle. Combined with negative bb drop, it should make for amusingly unpredictable handling. That might take your mind off the noise of the chain retention device🤣

@SDGshox setup reminds me of a historical battle. At the time we thought shimano were designing their brake levers to make them awkward to use with gripshift by moving the pivot towards the centre of the bar. Sram levers of the period never really took off round us, felt a bit horrible and...

The Raleigh in the end remained hybridised (due to paint deterioration), and is now ready to join its cousins in the wild at £300

I've got one of these, an evolution of the primus that fits in your pocket. 0 to hot cup of tea about 2 minutes. Pity those trangia users at 10,000ft
