I don't think most german tourists would go for a drop bar set-up, this is what I've seen the most of. I think it makes sense, given Rohloff's refusal to build anything remotely lightweight.
Gilles Berthoud stepped in with a £££ solution for drops: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gilles-berthoud-gilles-berthoud-twister-for-rohloff-hubs-prod27131/
Germans/Dutch prefer MTB/Citybikes gone tourer with "Butterfly on Acid" bars or flat bars.
UK cyclists prefer Road bikes gone tourer with drops.
Cultural thing driven by history/economy etc.

M-gineering also made a solution for drops, can't say I like it but it is a solution..

-> go to "sturen" as there isn't a direct link. -

-> go to "sturen" as there isn't a direct link.I like the pun, but IMO if its still going to be a grip shift you may as well plonk it on the bar end:
... is the difficultly because the cable pulls forward and back, rather than just having tension and then releasing it? I'd have though with all the electric stuff out the smart move is just to copy shimano and then you could mount shifters where ever you like.

It's annoying Rohloff don't shift with just one cable, else Ye Olde non-indexed friction/barends would do the job.

You need to find the right shoes, I'm happy to walk as far in my MTB shoes than any other shoes I've owned, and so much better on the bike too.
Mavic rush maxi for me.

^^^Fix the bar angle and erase the engravings and the thing would be pure porn.

What other bar angle would you expect?

From Gaston? I can't be bothered to expect.
For this thread, the one that looks right.

How about bullhorns set horizontally is an aesthetic falsehood influenced by the flat bar riding masses?

Accent bartape and saddle should be orange no? And if not orange atleast black. Not a blue that fights with the frame blue
Only the lesbians, apparently
