Hey, that setup is exactly what I've got on a retro MTB - 10-speed SRAM, X7 (he's got X9) derailleur, TT shifter in the bar end. Except for some reason he's got the shifter on the left hand with the cable not routed under the bar tape - odd.

And I wonder how he got a 1 1/8" fork in there. It was about then that the standard switched from 1" right?

He did the same on this bike:

Yeah, it works great and considering that you can get a derailleur and shifter for <£50 (used) it's a pretty good setup.

He's routed the cable under the tape in that one. Maybe it's the weirdly shaped cables in the other bike, don't imagine they'd feel good under the bar tape
