Subject: [CR]Shifters

My search for a bike came to an end a couple weeks ago when I bought a beautiful Colnago Super from David White. I want to thank David, John Wood, Peter Jourdain, Jack Gabus, Raymond Dobbins, Dale Brown, Joe (joeb-z@comcast.net), Greg (milanospt@aol.com), Bob (BobHoveyGa@aol.com) and many others for great advice and for pointing me in the right direction. Since he is so close, and I heard great things about him, I dropped the bike off at Franklin Frames today to get some work done. I look forward to getting it back already. In the meantime, I have all the parts I'll need expect shifters. Late last year I put friction shifters on my bike but just couldn't seem to figure them out. I was always close to where I needed the paddles to be, but could never get a clean shift. About the same time I rode a friends bike that had index shifters and liked the one click one shift style. What do you all use, friction or index? I am leaning towards index, but will keep my options open. If you like indexed, where do you find them? Thanks.
