    Lovely design that - I reckon it would look even better with orange wheels too. Welcome back to 2 wheels - enjoy! :)

    Back tonight after weekend in Wales, some difficulty changing gear as I've not got full 'upwards' movement of my foot but great to be riding again!!

    Even a quick shifter will make the gear changes easier than a powershifter, but they do look a good option. I may even need one for my dodgy post Oulton ankle

    I wonder if that could be used with my quickshifter Steve.
    I'm actually interested to see more about that

    It would replace your existing quickshifter
