I own nothing with DT shifters, yet.
I am now a huge brifter fan.
I've always liked bar end shifters.
I prefer Campagnolo over Shimano.
Most of my operable bikes are 9speed indexed.
I just bought my newest bike (2009. And yes, it's steel).
I only own one "Heroica/Eroica" qualifying bike.
That one bike has bar end shifters.
I prefer classic rock.
I ride with mountain bike shoes.
Most of my bikes have SPD clipless pedals.
