Here's one I never saw before today.
Unfortunately I was in a hurry and didnt have time for close look / photo.
Looked like old fashioned (non-aero) drop bar brake levers, with thumb shifters mounted "vertically" on the inside face of the hoods - almost as if they had been bolted through the hole where the "suicide lever" would have been mounted.
I recall reading somewhere ( an american website IIRC) of a bracket that would give this kind of configuration, but this looked like the shifters were mounted direct on the "hood".
As I say it was only a quick look - it could even have been thumbies mounted on the bars immediately adjacent to the brake hoods.
Anybody seen /used anything like this ?
