It's funny that no-one has commented on the proposed use of downtube shifters yet...
For the record, this bike is getting the build kit from my cross-check albeit with new wheels and brake calipers. I've found DT shifters to be perfect for my tastes. Plus it is a nice bit of Dura Ace to provide a counterpoint to my Sora rear mech :)
