Just read through the thread as well, excellent stuff and I really like the new/old mish mash on the Trek, very much my cup of tea.
I have a very similarly set up bike as the Raleigh - surely the joy of the the friction shifter for front mech is no need for indexing, therefore no need for barrel adjusters?
Yeah you're absolutely right, but the jtek thumbie adapters don't have a cable stop, so I'd just be using it for that rather than adjustment. Could probably get away with a stepped ferrule or something like that, which I also don't have
