I love those lugged frames! Yesterday on my longest-ride-in-20-years (70 miles) on my beloved Luna, I realized that I was riding in the hoods most of the time because that's where the shifters are...before, on my older bikes (1980s Vitus was my last road bike), I rode on the flats and on the hoods, but not solely on the hoods. I didn't have to because the bike had downtube shifters.

There are advantages to each, but I really like your classic bike!
