I much prefer DT shifters, too. Has anyone come out with clamp-on DT bosses for larger sized down tubes? When I had my Bleriot, I searched high and low and couldn't find anything suitable. FYI: if you have DT bosses but use STI or whatever, I've found that many shops will just give you those little adapters. They're included with the shifters, but most modern bikes don't use them, so shops end up with a whole box of them. Regarding those 3rd bottle cage mounts under the DT: I've owned five such bikes and have never been able to actually put a bottle down there because it would hit the small chainring. The only thing that I've ever put down there is that nifty little Nitto spare tire carrier.
