Before STI, rapidfire, x-press, bullet shifters, gripshit, dual release etc etc we all used thumbshifters. Quite a few still do. But are they cool or not?

Here's a few pics to get you going...

If any component captured retro and is accepted across the board it would have to be thumbies, cool :cool:
 
Cool, be it in old Deore/XT or Modern Ultegra/Pauls. Nothing shifts more naturally for me than thumbies.

I can t see there being many uncool votes for this one.
 
As cool as the big freeze we're having :cool:

Also the fact we retrobikers use them has to make them cool just by association :D
 
yes , they are retro , yes they are ptractical but are they cool ?

not to me .
 
Cool as.

Love the ones on my Stumpjumper, they are the definitive retro part to have!

sure this should be a question of how cool they are, not if they are cool or not.
 
XT thumb shifters rock my world.

Cool. Not much cooler than this, the only shifter for a true retro bike!
