Well, all that I have to say about the OM-1 in action I'm sure is everything you want to hear ... It's just flawless ... Took it out for its first long ride yesterday and it felt like it has been in place forever just doing its thing ....
I honestly thought the only hurdle with it would be the amount of time it would take for my brain to start to send the correct signal to my right hand -- now being push to shift down and pull to shift up -- but even that pretty much worked from the very beginning of the ride. Bravo Rivendell once again!
