Congrats! Here's the question:
How long will it be before you stop 'reaching down' to shift gears?
We'll look forward to seeing it at the Horsey next year!

Mr. Silver I can always claim I'm looking for my water bottle
. I guess this will be like going from a manual transmission to an automatic.

That's funny, I went through that last spring when I demo'ed a new bike, and the REALLY funny thing was that it had been 12 years since I last rode a road bike with down tube shifters. I'd been riding a hybrid with grip shifters for three years... but as soon as I got on that road bike, the down tube is where they were supposed to be.

Then I rehabbed my old bike with the down tube shifters and rode that all last summer, and had to get over it all over again when I got a new bike this spring
