New thumb friction shifter Sturmey Archer 9 speed?????

Right hand only on offer at £25 ... ordered one as a back up for my RSP in case I can't get along with the Sachs gripshift. Thanks for the heads up Jamis!
 
Re:

Bought these for my Kona Explosif build:

Was essentially bummed that Pauls were so expensive but still looked cheap :?

Picked up a cheap pair of Campag downshifters on ebay for £12, polished them up and fitted them. Needed some loc-tite to get resistance right so the lever wouldn't just slip down the gears when under tension but all in all, after some jiggery-pokery, worked pretty well and looked good IMO.

Only downside was Velo Orange were out of stock last time I ordered so delay of about 3 months, THEN slapped with customs charges of £14... but good value for money if you can get them from a US friend :)

Second pick on build thread here:

Look good with Pauls levers...
