  • Cinq 5 looks like the best solution yet.

    Very tempted.

    For people with a Rohloff, I don't think the price is unreasonable. After all we've already put a set of requirements (quality, widest gear range, consistent gear steps, longevity, etc) above cost.

    If we're willing to pay for that level of engineering I doubt any Rohloff owner would hesitate to complete the experience with a decent road bar solution.

    The only catch: There hasn't been a decent road bar solution.

    I've personally ruled out all split bar solutions, and dislike the GB and Co-Motion shifter on the bar solution (unconvinced by the long-term operation of it, it's been hit by an ugly stick, etc).

    May get the Cinq 5 next spring.

    That the Tout Terrain people make them is a good thing. Those bikes are damn nice too (from a purely functional perspective, with a little aesthetic thrown in).
