I miss downtube shifters. I have no gripes with brifters, but no DT shifter ever pinched my glove. I've never tried indexed DT shifters. The concept seems odd to me, but I just picked up an SBC 4130 that has a 1x setup with a single DT shifter that I've heard is indexed. I haven't finished assembling it yet. We'll see.
