Yes, they're canti's. Agreed re. the permanent uphill...
The downtube shifters are friction. I will get this confirmed by a LBS, but I assume that this means that the rear mech will be able to shift the extra few millimetres for the greater number of cogs? Once more, I assume that they don't just push the cogs closer together (?!)
I may take you up on the aria drum brake. I will seek to use the existing drum though because it's not worn and the drum to frame spacing (for the attachment) is likely to be irregular.
