Friction, baby! No mystery: Just keep putting in the miles, shifting those gears and before you know it you'll have that "calibrated hand"!

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 o thers 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 shifte rs. Late last year I put friction shifters on my bike but just couldn't see m to figure them out. I was always close to where I needed the paddles to b e, 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 kee p my options open. If> you like indexed, where do you find them?
