Make them a silly offer......that's what I do all the time, you just need to catch the guy at the magic moment when he's not had an offer for a while and his missus wants to go shopping.... :shock:

Serious question: would this look terrible with stem mounted suntour shifters? I don’t want to die and I want to use it.

Short answer - Yes. Long Answer - Still yes and you'd probably get mocked by the bigger boys.

Practice makes perfect with the downtube levers, it's just a case of getting used to them and learning not to look down at them or back at the cogs when shifting.

Someone on ebay was selling those long Huret ones for about a tenner a set a while back but I don't think they'll help much

I grew up with them when that's all we had and even now when I'm riding a bike with brifters I still instinctively go for the downtube levers by mistake every now and then but that's probably because I'm old people.

Re:

Sounds like bar end shifters are the way to go. They'rrrrrrrrrrrrrre great.

I grew up with them too but back then I had a back that could bend in the middle.

Ha Ha, fair point, as long as no one can hear you making the old people noises when you bend down to change gear you'll be fine.
