Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Thanks!
I actually prefer the DT shifters, but I'm a retrogrouch. I don't even use indexed shifting. I ride old lugged steel and love it.
Finest 4.0 is a sweet ride though and if I were looking at a new bike, that would be right there in the list I was looking at.
