Got the shifter fixed! Don't know what the problem was, but I basically broke the front down, and returned it all.
While I was at it, changed out my waxed chain, and couldn't figure out why it was so noisy.
Feeling really stupid right about now.

I had made an Excel spreadsheet of the measurements of my bikes, and added two sheets on the gearing, calculating the ratios of all the gears on all the bikes. It turns out that the Canyon, with its 52/36 x 11-34 has both higher and lower gears ON THE BIG RING ALONE than the Circuit has TOTAL, with 52/42 x 13-24. And that's without going big ring/big cog! Geez, no wonder people bought triples!

For what it's worth I feel responsible for demeaning an obviously popular beer in the first place. I could have named a ****load of other beers I don't care for but I chose the pilsner industry leaders. Such comparisons can be made about all manner of consumer products without intention of demeaning those who favor one side over another, we just happened to be talking about beers.
Hell, when I was in college I think I personally kept the Annheiser Bush breweries afloat, that's how much my roomies and I drank. Nowadays we've moved on, no offense to anyone who still love it.

Yeah, malt liquor has to be ice cold! There was a place in Portland on 15th Ave and Prescott that kept their 40s in a cooler set just above the freezing point of malt liquor and below the freezing point of water. By the time we walked 9 blocks back to our place, the 40s had a nice crust of ice on 'em. It's kinda like the Coors mountains that turn blue but better.

Good news!
But I hate it when that happens, especially in my work. If I don't know what went wrong, then the problem isn't solved, just ended.

Must've been 2007 or so when I last helped kill a couple cases of these. We were having band practice on an old farm down south of Portland and the guitarist and I drove into Multnomah Village for supplies when we spotted five 12-packs stacked in the cooler. We discussed how it had been a couple years since either of us have had Oly in bottles and decided we might as well grab all 5.

Uh oh - ENVE is now offering custom road bikes. Since they start at $7k, though, the most enjoyment I'll get out of the deal is playing with their bike builder page - https://www.enve.com/bike-builder/paint
