Hey, you'll get used to the downtube shifting in no time. When I was your age, very bike I ever had at DT friction shifters, and we never thought a thing about it. Just shifted when we needed to, and that was that. It's kind of like driving a stickshift. The basics.

Okay I promise to get on pics here soon, got drug over to the Dark Horse for burgers and by the time I got the dogs walked it was pretty dark.
I'm sure millions of people have survived DT shifting but I'm really lopsided due to something my chiropractor calls a "subluxation" of my lower back. Thus the muscles in my left leg are all tightened and screwy causing my left leg to technically be shorter. I cannot for the life of me take my right hand off the handle bars. No, "look ma!" for me!"True, but if you throw your panties into the middle of the peloton, someone's likely to get hurt."
