Sunrace shifters are below my bike snob standards and Travel Agents always seemed like a kludge at best. i sold the Pake today and bought a Raleigh Tamland with the new funds.

however, I just wanted to point out that the Pake C'mute is a terrific bike to start a Rivendellesque bike. That is, until upgraditis sets in and you realize its limitations, which are not that big a deal.
