I think reds had it with the stupidity of of front indexing. :lol:

If I was going cassette, 8spd with indexed right only Dura Ace downtube levers or barends is the way to go. Dead simple. That or some ratcheting Bar-Cons. (http://www.jitensha.com/eng/images/custmrebisu/jsiemsen_cls.jpg)

The Kogswell frame, fork, and fenders painted to match is only $540. :shock:

Id almost look into one except: theyre not 26" wheels, Kogswell has joined the Rivendell idiots in using the obscure (in the US) 650B (584mm)  tire size, which is right in between mtb (559mm) and road (622mm). Thats exceptionally stupid. There are plenty of mtb and road tires that are nice and floaty. Shame. :cry:
