Mmmm, I can see where you're coming from.
My thought on it was that being singlespeed and rigid there's minimal cabling/hosing on the bike just now and kinda wanted to keep it that way.
I guess if I'm forking out for one then maybe worth getting one where remote lever is at least an option.
If only I could find somewhere that does 0% and has the 27.2 Thomson in stock.
Remote lever is well worth having. The convenience of seeing a descent and just pushing a button to lower the saddle, and then at the bottom of a climb while carrying momentum from the previous descent being able to raise it again without having to take a hand from the bars makes things so much easier. Having to take a hand from the bars and grapple with a lever under my crotch whilst at speed on uneven terrain does not have appeal in this or most other contexts.
