Hey DanO, I'll check my email, I get so much a lot of it gets missed... aye, I'm glad they're coming out with an STI shifter for the 8, though unfortunately I plan on using the 8 with a bike that will have V-brakes... so I'm locked into my 287V's... thus I'm also glad that they will be releasing a revo shifter for the 8 alone (stand lone, not a brifter)... though the stand alone shifter won't be out until the coaster brake edition which is still another 6 months from what I hear... oh I'm anxious!
