something kind nice and artisanal about bar ends on friction.
@powleo what about down tube shifters?
I'm considering a similar revamp of my old specialized hard rock, thanks to friendly suggestions from fellow forum-dwellers I found some nice sweepy humpert bars available on ebay. The humpert lady towns in particular caught my attention.
You can get 7/8/9/10 speed bar ends for £5-30 really cheap on eBay. Are you sticking on 6-speed or whatever or going up to more gears? Guess it's screw on free-wheel is it?
You could go for friction shift too
edit: sweet bike obviously. I think it looked pretty awesome black/black/black but crap spray paint isn't going to last long. Silver/silver/silver will look great too I'm sure
