OFG, welcome to the alliance! You have seen the light, may the force be with you.

....... You can't argue with the performance enhancements modern technology allows.
So - I've got a question..... just where the hell are you guys whan I'm all alone praising modern technology and getting a beating from all the luddites in this forum? Hmmm?

You don't always ride with what you'd like, but what you have.

Perhaps you have some castoffs that aren't worthy of your rides? Tell you what, bring them down this Fall and I' ll give you free room, if not board. I think you could eat me out of house and home, so board is not included ;-)
Well.... I have a spare Veloce compact crank that's not doing anything, and Veloce 10 speed shifters with cable set are $100 delivered from PBK. All you need then is the dérailleurs, chain, and a wheel set.

Flip 3-4 more bikes and you're there. And, trust me, once you go all the way you'll never ever go back - except to remind yourself just how primitive and inconvenient DT shifting is.
