Need some helps.
I'm getting an old frame that's suitable for quick randonnees/light touring, I happen to have an Nexus 8 speeds touring wheels build up already, was going to get bar end shifter but realise the price for one is pretty high;

Is it worth it? or is there's better alternative? (I'm using drop bar just so you know), and probably need to respace the hubs from 130 to 126mm. for the 118mm width on the frame.
