also making such a classy looking touring bike and putting modern stuff like indexing gears with all the looks, seems a little like missing the point
Using Shimano STIs is missing the point; all proper tourists have bar bags, which don't work with STI cables coming out of the sides of the levers. Then again, I hate nearly everything about that bike, but somebody has obviously spent a huge amount of time and money having it built exactly how they want it, so I'd drop it straight in the anti-porn bin.
