I had DT shifters on it but ultimately switched them to brifters as I began riding it a lot and felt they were slowing me down. They don’t make sense for 10 speed, when shifting is much more frequent. I’d be happy with them on a leisurely tour.
The frame is well finished and feels very solid. It rides like a responsive road bike, so the geo is good. If I’m still getting on well with it in a few years and it feels like a keeper I’d consider having it remade with lightweight tubing.
It is, with carbon forks. I like it a lot.
