Downtubes are awesome. Who doesn't want to take their hands off the bars and eyes of the road ahead to shift??? I mean sure it is no Cambio Course (a complex system that shifted from the rear stays) but it is still pretty good ; )
Though I do admit my old Cilo is a fun ride. Something magical about something older like that when your low gear was 42 in the front and you shifted off the bars.
