Julibird....golly thanks! But hey you know what?- I've been having a bit of trouble getting the shifting to work just right- dropped my chain twice today!
It is a lovely bike though, and I feel privileged to own it. Hope I can get my shifting act together soon. (kinda missing my trusty bar end shifters right now)

Wow - my throat and chest are constricting with admiration and envy for this beautiful machine. Sigh.

What a beautiful bike! And dreamy . . and oddly enough creamy, like butter.
Might need to get those cables adjusted maybe?

Lisa,
there is a possibility that your chain / derailleur / etc is not QUITE adjusted correctly. Do not assume that YOU are the problem!

There is a possibility of the chain line not being quite right. Brian is looking into it. But he checked over the derailleurs this morning and found them ok. We are talking a huge gear range here, and that's a part of the trickiness to get it just right. Also I am sure there is still some "operator error" in terms of my shifting when there is too much pressure on the chain perhaps. Time will tell, we are working on it. Only a problem at one certain point.
