    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!
