10 speed down tube (indexed, cos 10 speed friction seems stupid) on my slow bike. I mostly find myself shifting two gears at a time so could happily live with fewer.
I love the fact that downtube/ bar ends/ thumbies mean that you can throw caution to the wind and mismatch components in a way that modern groupsets don’t really allow.
Still on modern brifters on my road bike though and I’m not sure I see that changing.
