Do you have a reliable source for bar end shifters? My verrrrrry old 
Campagnolo shifters have barely enough movement for a 6 cog hub, 7 or 8 cogs 
is out of the question. Here in Calgary if you go to a bike shop and have the 
audacity to ask for something that isn't "THE (insert appropriate {trendy} 
expletive) RAGE" you are thought of as some deviant from another planet. I'd 
settle for Sun Tour as long as the shifters are friction only and not of 
current batch of "Ratchet Crap".
