Not hand built they aren't. That might be for the rim

Quite a lot I would think. Indexed shifting, being able to change gear without reaching down.

That doesn't match with my personal experience. I ride both indexed and friction shift bikes, and it takes a few miles to adjust from one to the other and then I completely forget about it.

I wouldn't call it reaching either. Just straighten my elbow, an my hand is on the shifters.

But I do appreciate we are all different.
