My TdF is my all time favorite ride.
I've never tried an index shifter, but I do like this even in its friction mode. New chain and cogs certainly didn't hurt!
I DO love your TdF, but this photo is of that stunning Peugeot you also own, eh? To show off the Sachs, I see. Show us another photo of your TdF, just 'cause you can. I'm glad to hear that you like the TdF best, too. They are very special riders.
