Sweet! I had no idea there were any production bikes anywhere being shipped with down tube shifters. Unfortunately, Shimano has discontinued the 9-speed DT shifters and the new 10-speed shifters don't have a friction option. Double boo! I'm working on my very first "road bike" at the moment and I managed to snag one of the last few sets of the 9sp DT shifters Gnashbar had in stock a while back. She just needs wheels and rubber. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
