Ya but we a special breed that notices things like that, average consumer... no clue ;)

Does that mean you shave your legs and arms?

You are probably right. I think handlebars and seat are more important (comfort). Gears are really there for hills and I like to gestimate and select a gear at the foot of a hill. That way I'm not loading and changing gears.

A good pair of cycling shorts are just as important.
