I considered DT shifters on my Roberts build but was warned off it. Admittedly I haven't read all 39 pages so I don't your history here, but they seem like an unnecessary ballache with no benefit

I've used them on a couple of bikes, don't find them a ball ache, admittedly they're not a convenient as STI, but my thinking is I may change from drop to flat bars on the new build as the mood takes me, so only having to faff with brake cables is far more straightforward.
Friction shifting takes a little getting used to, but once you've got it, it ain't so bad.

Well this is just confusing. I have an equilibrium I was thinking of building up as a fast summer bike, and I could wack some 7900 DT shifters on the Roberts and parts bin a whole other group for the genesis, but I haven't due to people saying DT shifters were "madness". Food for thought, cheers
