Hmm, I'm still impressed with the crispness of the sti shifting on our 3 yo Speedster, though it's 9 speed and I upgraded to the DA brifters.
FWIW, I'm still sweating from the ride over to pick up our 7 yo daughter from daycare. Earlier in the year I was able to lower the seat all the way down, rotate the bars and add some crank arm shorteners so that our daughter could ride stoker. We ride to daycare, swim lesson, karate and a few "real" rides. We've got over 300 miles already this year! I'll have to write a full report with some photos one of these days.
For now, here's a photo of our Speedster before the mods:
