Might want to point the trigger shifter downwards as in the early catalogs; it was only later on that Sturmey re-oriented the trigger upwards. The long lever on the 3-or-4 speed shifters work really well when they're pointed down - it's really easy to pull the lever towards you or flick it outwards with the index finger. That alone has made it my favorite shifter of all time - on that bit of ergonomics alone.

Thanks, Kurt. It really is amazing that this thing is 70. With today's thunderstorms I didn't get a chance to ride, so I'll take the trigger note into consideration when I take it for a spin.
