Gripshift for road bikes. You can still get 10 speed down tube shifters but no Gripshift.

Sigh...I'll add a few more but hope to see some answers for what happened to Johan!

What ever happened to "Sport Touring" bikes, all the Ambrosio Nemesis wheels the pro teams brought out for Paris-Roubaix, and anodized red bullseye pulleys...

I just put an old Avocet touring saddle on my commuter. I need to give it some more time, but so far I don't find it comfortable.

Shimano's dual control shifting. I loved that stuff.

That's some high quality web design there!

I have toyed with the idea of bringing back the Avocet O2 saddle. Even looked into buying the intellectual property and molds. Someone still owns it and had no interest in talking to me about it.
