Berthoud Debuts Rohloff Drop-Bar Shifter, Wider, Cheaper Saddle

September 8th, 2011 by Bill | 3 Comments | Filed in Berthoud, Other Blogs, Products

Berthoud Rohloff ShifterUK website road.cc reports on new Gilles Berthoud’s products on display at the recent Eurobike trade show in Germany. M. Berthoud has developed a solution for riders who want to use the well-regarded Rohloff Speedhub fourteen-speed internal gear hub on drop handlebars.

Berthoud has also added a new model to his popular leather saddle line. The ‘Mente’ model is wider, at 180mm, and less costly than the race and tour saddles and is designed for a more upright riding position.

Wallingford Bicycle Parts looks forward to carrying these new Gilles Berthoud products as soon as they become available.
