Love the downtube shifters! Is the CUES line nice?
Not OP but everything I've read sounds amazing (from a durability perspective, at least)
Taking into account it's the cheapest Shimano line, I cannot complain. I did all the installation and setup, and everything works as intended. All possible complaints are probably layer 8 problems (related to the fact that I am not a bike mechanic, merely a manual reader and video watcher).
The front derailleur appears to be identical to the mechanical 105 group (the latest generation, the number escapes me). Might be different materials, but the design looks the same.
We've had a few new bikes come into the shop with Cues. It seems decent, no major complaints about setting it up. I haven't seen one in for repair yet.
The 105 is FD-R7100 and the Cues is FD-U6030.
