...on the subject of thumbies, I just mounted 4 types of bodged shifters for a pre-barwrap shakedown. Despite the full length brake housing and 8 speed chain with 9spd cassette and shifters, I am convinced with the hack I did on the rapidfire.
Was going to try friction, different mechs and various mounting positions. but it was very good. The worlds lightest front shifter (tm) currently features 3 positions, and is set up for 28/38... It actually arose because I didn't have any bottom pull front mechs.. but i like it so it will be staying in some form, especially if I can get that bloody long bottom bracket off. :)
