Steve, That sounds about right. I'm glad there is a fix for it. I'm thinking of going with the recommended 3x9 option. As for shifter location, if not down tube, I'm not sure I want bar ends. I shouldn't have any knee collisions with the Nitto Noodle, but I'm not sure. This "not quite a brifter" option looks interesting: http://gevenalle.com/product/audax/
