Bones, I just took the front bar-end silver shifter off the bar (Shimano) and put it on the down tube, where the front shifter already was...it honestly feels like it shifts better, for whatever reason, and it's just so nice on the Roadini to have the bars less messy. My vote is downtube! On

Thank you Joe, that is exactly the information I needed. Besides the tab not fitting anywhere I thought the big washer was too thin and just set it aside, but now I see that is not the case. I think I should be able to cut and file the tab off pretty cleanly, and will be all set. If that
