A couple of cool shifting solutions happened upon this week. The first came into the shop for a tune up.
XT thumbshifter mounted next to the brake on a drop bar, sweet! I have a set of XT thumbies and they are not on a bike now, but will be again someday I am sure, maybe even on a road bike.
And, spied on a fine looking KELLY seen parked at the new pi co-op, wowsers!
The closer look, can anyone tell me more about these please?
Cool stuff. If you like talking bikes, shifting, CSA, or anything else come on by the shop and be heard! Enjoy a cup of espresso while you are at it. Yep, that is right, the dream is realized, coffee shop next to bike shop right here in little old Iowa City.
Ben’s espresso is fair trade, locally roasted (by him), and really delicious. Get it while the getting is good, he will be there 7am to 5pm Tuesday thru Saturday all summer long!

so…. where does the cup holder go for the wiz bang coffee I just bought out side the shop??? Those high priced levers are mounted right where a cup holder should go….Add your extra long curly straw and….you don’t need those levers if you drink the Coffee.. Rode over the top of one Hummer and two BMWs with blue hairs at the controls in record time, didn’t need extra levers just more victems for the old Hercules to take on!
Hwy 6 and Sandroad were nothing. Coffee is cheaper and a hell of alot more Hedonistic!
The Shop Rocks and the Coffee is nectar from the Gods!

Google? What is this you speak of! I looked in the dictionary and checked the Encyclopedia set my parents gave me when I went off to High School…
Okay seriously, I am not too distressed about them KELLY lever-majobbers, I only linked to http://tsaleh.blogspot.com because the man in charge over there used to build frames for KELLY and I enjoy chatting with him so really, it was just a cry for attention, but thanks for the solid feedback everyone!
