I did think of you when posting this as I remember moaning about grip shift. Good to hear youve got used to the triggers

Grip shifts are back in fashion now.

Spram has started making them again.

I love the gearbox idea only problem is you can't retrofit it

was speaking to a friend last week, who knows someone that has a team sponsored by specialized. every year they give him their top of the range/newly developed bikes for a year, reported to be worth around 10k. He was told that gearing is the new thing and all bikes will now be moving to this....

dont remember anything about grip shifts though

Yeah still alive and kicking, Canada was great, got back end of April, got into skiing out there, got all my own kit aswell, would love to go back out there in the summer for the mountain biking.
Bikes pretty good, it just before I went to Canada, did the last seasons bike reduced option, now looking for bikes for my kids.
I will try and come to the track day at coombe if im not doing Olympic's stuff, this year is pretty hectic but I don't exactly know what I am doing or when.
