FYI, Grant tells me that he thinks Shimano has stopped making the 9sp bar-end shifters "after 25 or 26 years of making them". Get 'em while you can, and expect the price to get eye-watering. And, yes, you can run them on the down tube. Interesting bit of RBW history ... I pointed this out to Grant a long time ago, and that the opposite was true, that downtube shifters could be mounted on Shimano bar-end pods. And thus were born the Silver 1 bar-end shifters.
