Hi Cali!

Thanks for your post! RE: The gear shifters, on my oldest bike 20+ years, one reached down to the top tube of the frame, or on some bikes the front tube of the frame to move the levers to shift gears. This always made me nervous - to take my hand off the bar and eyes off the road...

On the Dulce, the brake levers moved to shift the back and there is a little thumb lever on the side of the brake hood to move the front; on my pal's Specialized Sirrus from 2003 the brake lever is split and one side moves the gears. that's what I'm wondering about.

Sounds like it's just getting better and better!
