I just picked up my bike from the lbs. I bought my daughter a new frame. She got my DA 9 speed stuff, the DA 10 went on my frame 🙂. Man, does that stuff shift FAST. The pressure required to shift is MUCH less the 9 speed. And that is a big deal for me. I crashed this summer and my right hand is very weak. Occasionally (when cold) I was unable to shift w/o reaching around the bars and grabbing the shifter/brake lever with my hand. Any decrease in shifting pressure is a pluss for me.
The only components I am waiting for are the Flight deck and the rear derailleur. The lbs put a new Shimano Ultegra derailluer on the bike for me to use while waiting for my parts. I cannot stress enought how important a good Local Bike Shop is!
Anyway, I am very happy with the new equipment and cannot wait for the last two items to come in!
