You may remember Retroshift- the still somewhat new brand offering an alternative to brifters for your geared cyclocross bike? Well they have a new name, and have jumped headlong into more solutions for cross racers that feel the need for more than one gear. Founded by Adam Clement in 2011 (as Retroshift) in Portland- the first product offerings were the CX1 and CX2 shifters and soon after followed by the BURD (Blatantly Upgraded Rear Derailleur) cyclocross specific derailleur. The company focus is providing solutions for cyclocross. All products are built in Portland OR using both Taiwanese and American made parts.
