    Edited to add sorry for the thread hijack as this is neither a Seven nor Habanero. But she is another Chris Robinson build.
    Yes. I think the correct term is "optical gear display" for the rear shifter. I hadn't seen one before. I betcha Chris could put one on my new, as yet imaginary bike.

    And, hey, hijack away... we're still discussing bike gear! I think we're within the legal parameters.

    I betcha he can What I missed about Shimano was Flightdeck I loooove Flightdeck, everything you need, nothing you don't; speed, cadence and gearing.

    Everybody said about the Campy version (Ergobrain?) they did not like it as much. Cadence I can live without but rear shifter gearing I missed and was not comfortable looking backwards to check.

    This does the job for me.

    It's designed to work on Shimano but Chris and Tim (Tim now works at another shop but drops in from time to time) made it work fine
