STI brake and shift levers! Wow, really expensive. Who needs this. What if it breaks down on a ride?

Downtube levers work great, and the new STI shifters just pop into the next gear. There's none of the feel you get with a finely tuned downtube shifter. It's probably for bike racers.



(Yeah, OK, the jump from downtube shifters was a bigger deal than this change to electronic. )
