Magnificent! And now that I know where your flickr account is, I can oogle the rest of your goodies!
Don't be afraid to shift the cambio corsa. Just don't do it at a very fast speed, at least the first time. The scary thing is reaching down and feeling for the levers-practice pretend shifts until you can know just where they are. I got a chance to ride one at my local paint huffer-he had one and let me test ride it in the parking lot. I was afraid I'd stick my fingers into the spokes.
