I suspect the (related) gods of Comedy and Physics do not care whether they are understood, or not.

I said all that’s relevant in my original comment. So unless you know of a bike with abs there is nothing more to add. . 😀

Aesthetics aren't your thing. Which is fine.

Really???? Late 80s bikes with down tube shifters were some of the cleanest bikes produced. And------------with virtually no cable housing, the shifters rarely went out of adjustment.

Yeah. Really.

I don't like disc brakes on road bikes.

Apart from taking up the slack after the outers have bedded in I never had to adjust the indexing on brifters. For my money they were the biggest single improvement on road bikes in my 55 years of cycling.
