Down-tube shifters are fine... really. I'd keep them, they're easy to use, easy to trim and are low to no maintainance, useful in the middle of nowhere or a long way from the nearest bike shop.Rhythm Thief said:No, maybe not (although I rather like down tube shifters). But the point is, any of those bikes will be easily upgradable well within a £500 budget with bar end shifters, or even STIs.
I'm gonna keep thye DT shifters on my skip rescue rebuild tourer project (which I must get round to starting).
