Yeah I got nothing against barcons, I have the Suntour ones on my Supercourse. I can shift quicker with the DT shifters on my other bikes though.
All my frames are 25 inch, or greater, but my arms are long, and as stated in an earlier post, way easier then going for the water bottle.
My favorites are the Suntour Superbe levers on my 84 Supersport, really nice feel, and probably the only reason I still have that bike.
