I've been riding the standard friction or Shimano-indexed bar-end Riv-type setup for 25 years. My only extremely limited experience of what you're contemplating was a ride around the building on a demo Roadeo at RBW HQ. It had a 105 group, 10-speed I think. My first (very surprised) reaction was, "Oh, that's why people like this stuff." The levers were perfect, the shifting was perfect, the brakes were great, everything just WORKED.
I'm not a dropbar guy these days, but if I ever decided to try it again and pop for a Roadeo or Roadini, it's no contes, I'd get a modern brifter group. Maybe even electronic. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
