I sure he’s got grx800 1x I don’t know if like sram you can mod them and fit a shifter paddle in there or not. So I’m guessing you need a new lever? He’s not very DIY.
Personally I say just go fixed ;D
Do they specific 1x shifters that are cheaper?
Personally I'd pay the extra to have a more versatile bike.
I keep the SS/fixed for shopping bike duties
Just had a look grx810 1x lh lever £100ish 2x £220ish and the 1x can’t be converted.
I have no front mechs on any of my bikes…
I think he’s running a tiny little ring so maybe a FD wouldn’t pick it up anyway?
