Where are the gear levers on the TDF bikes. I can't seem to spot them so I
assume they're mounted on the handlebars somewhere and very small.

Pardon my ignorance.

You can find out almost anything you could ever think of related to Tech
stuff here. He's got an "interesting" sense of humor too.

latest shifters,amongst other Shimano type "goodies".

Go to ROAD RACING-CATALOGUE SELECTION-DURA ACE 2004
Scroll the menu to DUAL CONTROL LEVER ST7800 NEW!!
Voila,as we say in Liverpool ;-)

Part of the brake lever. Example

Time Trial bikes are different, easier to see the shifters on those.

Yep, being a triathlete I'm familiar with the aero bar mounted shifters.

On the brake levers, of course. Where have you been the past 12 years?

Hey, my hat's off to anybody who keeps a road bike rolling for 15 years.

I have a 10-year-old bike on which I just had to replace the right
brake-lever/shifter (Shimano STI). The local Performance Bike shop sold
me a Shimano Sora lever, which does the same thing, but has a thumb
lever for shifting to smaller/harder rear cog. Looks like what I recall
Campagnolo shifters to have been.

How long has Shimano been doing their lever/shifters like this?
