I use stem shifters and barcons, both for the same reason: I don't have
to shift my centre of gravity when reaching for the shifters.

I have three Japanese/American bikes: A 1984 Nishiki Grand Tour 15, a
1982 Centurion Accordo, and a c1984 Univega Nuovo Sport, all of which came from
Goodwill stores.

As long as the bikes are French and the cameras have MF lenses, life
remains good.
