Shimano Alfine 11 — bar-end shifters?
I have a Shimano Alfine 11-speed hub, but the shifters do not fit on the drop bars that I prefer. So I'm using another set of handlebars that just don't work well. I don't like them.
I want to go back to the drop bars (which I had been using with an older Shimano 8-speed hub, with a set of "brifters" made by a company, Micro-something, that doesn't make them for an 11-speed hub, and seems to have gone out of business, anyway).
I could use the drop bars if I could find a set of bar-end shifters that work with the Alfine 11.
Do any such bar-end shifters exist?

I'll have to look at the exchange rate to see what £199.99 translates into for us spending Uncle Sams.
Abd a JTek bar-end shifter, too (though kinda pricey).
Many thanks for the links!

Well, what do you know, Microshift is still at it, and has an 11-speed version of "drifters."
