So, I wish I were younger Spending a little more time fine-tuning my drivetrain I was able to get it back to reasonable shifting performance; I might replace the shifter cable to see if it makes a material difference (a few gears need "encouragement" to engage; i.e. pushing the trigger above click). And component prices are apparently falling back to Earth. So... I'll see at the end of the summer, most likely will test-ride the Panorama cycle's Boreal and see if the fever comes back
