Curtis is making the Alfine equipped bike which will get Jtek shifter. I asked. Unfortunately at this point in time that swell down tube shifter only works with the three speeds. I imagine there will be a downtube shifter for 8 speeds at some time or another. By then, my bike will have been painted, etc. Maybe if I do not really like the paint, later on I can return to Curtis for an upgrade.
