Just checked delivery costs, and it's £600 more! Quite a difference. (and out of stock at present).Very similar, but about £400 more! £849 is a good price, and believe me, I've been scouring the net out of interest. My current bike was built with rigid forks, but the roads are so bad around here I had to fit suspension. It makes a difference. I'm happy to be a shortarse and peer over the bars!
I agree absolutely for me (especially having cut my right opposer muscle when I was 4), but some people with arthritic grip find the Revo shift even more awkward.The Revo shift is a good move imho, so much more friendlier to use then thumb selectors.
