Those shifters look nice. Look forward to seeing how the final product will look. I will definitely get a couple sets. I would get the current Silver V.1 shifters, but It has just been within the last couple years that I mounted the Suntour Sprint, shifters on my Schwinn Voyageur so I don't see a need at the moment to stock up. I got those way back just before Rivendell got some and started offering them when I worked at a local bike shop. I have been mulling over the idea of rebuilding my Rivendell Mountain with a set of S.O.S. (Silver on Soma) thumb shifters along with Phil Wood Rivy hubs etc, but I a hesitant to redo the Suntour XC-Pro, Wilderness Trail Bikes build on it already. May be a new Rivendell build out is in order.
