I’m not certain what kind of magic fairy dust that Curt sprinkles on during the build process. This is my 3rd frame built by Goodrich and within a block of my house I know it will have to share equal favorite status. The bike handles superbly.

Light snow the last couple of days here in the Twin Cities and a beautiful day in the 20’s today. The roads are sloppy, wet, and/or not even plowed in spots. Today’s conditions simply would not have worked with a multi-speed drivetrain. (I know, I’ve been trying to ride a geared bike this winter and it stinks.) Given the amount of snow and slop in some areas, having gear choice was really nice. The Rohloff is overkill, but I’ve had it for several years in search of the perfect frame and application. I think it’s finally found a home!

The shifter placement and function works just the way that I wanted. (Down tube placement is probably not for everyone, but I’m more the set and forget type gear-changer.) Within a few miles, I’d fully acclimated to its function.

Even better would be something that worked with dropped bar brake levers.

Not sure why it would not work directly with a NuVinci; the Rohloff does the indexing back at the hub.

I suspect that with minor modification it would also work as a shifter for the NuVinci CVT hub which is also dual cable controlled.

If it works, I hope you’ll license the design to someone like JTek or Paul to produce for general sale (I’m assuming you wouldn’t have time to do that yourself).
