Found this on the internets. Considering purchasing. Images suck, so I will go look at in person soon.

I cant see if this has the ability to have downtube shifters instead on brake lever shifters.

Some of us like downtube shifters, perhaps?

Very nice. My friend has a similar bike (Super Prestige), and it rides like a dream.
