maybe the kelly take off and retro spring friction levers will balance out to be easily shifted from the hoods ,.

That thing is pretty neat. If it cost a fifth of what they are charging, I would consider trying to set up a bike with something like the Kelly Take Offs and this thing. It would be nice to be able to shift from the hoods.

Thanks for posting.
