I have to admit that my Dura Ace 6800 ten speed certainly are better than the 12 speed Campy. Or the 12 speed wireless Di2 or the SRAM.

I changed three bikes over now and I carefully put away another set of levers and forgotten where I put them. As soon as I come across them I will change over my Tomassini.

I don't like the 6900 10 speed levers with their moving the shifting reel from the front to the back. Also 6900 levers are rare and the pull ratio of the reel appears to be different so that a 6800 front and rear derailleur aren't quite compatable with the 6800 parts.

But I like all of my bike groups to match after the hell of the 11 and 12 speed Campy and the rather meaningless electrinic shifting that are so popular now.

Indeed, sometimes less is more.
Which brings one to fixed gear...
I've still never had the opportunity to ride a fixie.
But I'm curious about your capabilities on that thing. How far can you ride? What sort of terrain?
Normally 2~10 miles, moderate terrain, paved roads. Which for me is the most frequent use of a bicycle.
