Well I had a Giant failure in the newly made shift stick,
I found after only testing and making the lovely movie of it that I realised I now had a small amount of play,
Silly me should have used epoxy bonding and let it set for longer.
Un-fazed by this I continued.
Now that I had a good excuse I chopped out the first attempt

I shaped the stand a bit better and i'll weld that on soon, I then went about looking for a suitable replacement.....Low n Behold I found another styled selector by shimano.
This allowed me to be able to attach it properly and much neater. I also can remove it and chuck it on after painting easily and let the bond set for the gear knob while the paint dries for a couple days. another bonus is the thumb lever on this one is much friendlier as in "the shape" of it, I made a new stick lever and it fits much better and straighter, I may get away with a pretty stainless bolt securing it rather than an epoxy bog job!..I really am taking this project to the very last day!
Main thing is the cable can run unobstructed through the frame and towards the back.
