There's a learning curve to this type of bike. (I guess you could say that about any bike) The hand position feels natural, but there's not a lot of variety. The brake levers are very easy to reach. The rapid fire shifters take a little getting used to: For the front dreailler the index finger is used to move to an easier gear and the thumb is used to move to a harder one. For the rear derailler, it's the opposite. I'll just have to keep on riding until things become more natural.
