Thank you for the kind words. DT shifters are indeed as God and Eddy Merckx intended. And Tullio and Faliero.
I confess not to recognize your bike, nor to being able to see in that photo if it is lugged. I does look nice though.
I feel compelled to point out that if you hung out in the C&V forum you would be compelled, and empowered and enabled too, for they are "enablers" of what can be an expensive hobby, to procure N+1 bikes like mine.
