Interesting picture I thought. Lance Armstrong using 2 different shifters on the same bike. Oldschool for the front. Newschool for the rear. Bet the sponsors were made up 😆

It's not such a bad idea, a friction lever allows fine tuning of the front mech, something sti and ergopower don't offer.

its a metal stick with a wire on the end dave. You only see them on pretend bikes 😀

I suspect the bike that Lance has is the one with the rubbish trim facility on the front mech. The issue sram invented and have now heroically solved 😆
