As I said, it didn't work for me. I'm not a collector and keep only bikes
that I really like.

To elaborate: First, it was a relatively inexpensive bike as it was somehow
not a collectible -- not quite sure why it was an ugly cousin, but I paid
$1,500 for a bike in excellent condition except for somewhat faded paint.
(I later had it beautifully powdercoated.)
Second, while it probably
My singles now all have silver DT shifters but the tandem has Shimano BE,
used in friction mode. The biggest problem I have, in going back and
forth, is that they move in opposite directions. It took me quite awhile
in going from older Campy shifters to new Silvers. Or maybe it was really
Was it really 2011? Time flies. The buyer, a woman in Atlanta, was thrilled
to get it.

You describe what I feel: pull or push the lever with authority, then add a
mm of tension. You are right, too, about the skill required being a plus
and not a minus. But I was surprised, when I figured out what was wrong, to
realize that I'd really lost the art with down tubers. (For the first

FWIW, this -- ie, that I've not used dt shifters except sporadically for
many years and have thus lost the habit -- explains why I found shifting 5
cogs on the Herse with Retro dt shifters awkward; ditto for the 6 (also
Retro -- no fd or left side shifter) on the Ken Rogers. Whereas I've been
I use a very slow, smooth technique and stop when I hear it click into
gear. Trim when necessary.
Do you have a Herse? Pics please? Love to see it!

I shift 9/friction with a Shimano 600 lever--the last of the true friction-only
DT levers. It's so nice that I have considered friction 10...but not just yet.

Sam (?): sorry, I sold it a couple of years ago. I owned it only for about
a year, IIRC, after buying it from fellow lister Ryan Watson. It was a 1958
700C rando bike that, I hear, Jan Heine brought in from France to build up
as a city bike, but both he and the next buyer, Ryan, found the tubing
Have you swapped the pulleys on the derailure? That trick did wonders for
both my 8 and 9 speed shifting.

No, I keep meaning to try it but keep forgetting. I've never done so in the
past, when I could shift friction very well. Will try to remember (along
with changing the HVAC filter and the gerbil's bedding and paying the HOA
...) Perhaps the Microshift RD on the Fargo does not have a laterally
