Road STI Shifter for ALFINE and Nexus hubs
Finally a big gap for the use of internal geared hubs on road bicycles is closed. The first STI road shifter for the Shimano ALFINE and Nexus hubs is available
The company who provides the lever is called Sussex Enterprises. More informations can be found here!
Thanks Detlef for this valuable information!

I did a review of the Versa shifter after using it this summer. It works very well. My only issue is with the relatively large gear steps on the internal hub. This is a legitimate compromise on to get a decent gear range in 8 speeds, but it would give me pause for touring and long rides where I want to get in that just right gear for long mile cruising.
