Spotted on the street

Not vintage, but spotted an unusual cockpit setup, so I chatted with the owner a minute.

Khs UrbanXCAPE. 3x8, v brakes, butted steel...View attachment 965945
But I was really interested in the microshift setup on the right side. It turns out, the owner is paralyzed in the left hand, so he had the shop (Bicycle World, the best one in town!)
flip the shifter for the front derailleur upside down and mount it on the top of the bar. View attachment 965946
24 gears with one hand, pretty darned neat

That is great, not the paralysis bit though, just to be clear.

We've done gripshift triple with rf+for the back both on the right.
And a 2 into one hydro connector for both calipers off one lever -
although the latter is not technically legal in the UK because you need 2 independent braking systems.

Direct drive and a 2sp centrifugal clutch hub…That’s a fancy set-up. But not old…
