    Interesting but I am curous, thinking of the stresses that will be put on the knob durning use (shifting), what is the material you will be using for the finished piece? Also, seeing the proto's size in contrast to your (I assume) hands, I wonder how comfortable it will be to use.

    It doesn't look very practical with those horns, i can imagine a few missed gears.

    Wouldn't it be better to have them curled at the sides of the head? ( purely from an ergonomical point of view )
