Exactly. I really, really would never have believed that I could have hit the button from the drops, but with the right position and the right bars, it just works.

But, that said, I had a good fitter for the frame and a good mechanic helped me pick out the handlebars that would work. In the past, I rented a bike with Campy and I rarely was in the drops (mediocre fit because it was a rental). I don't think I could even reach the break levers. With my new bike I can use the drops comfortably (yes, I'm still gushing over this bike's fit--it is amazing!) and the shifters work from the drops.
