These parts are nearly new and I'd like to sell the as a kit if possible to

Love to see a detail image of the problem area. Basically it sounds like
the inverted triangles are too short. If it's a new rack, perhaps have
them swap it for one with higher positioning.
Is this the setup you are trying to get to work?

You could use a center-mounted centerpulls. I'm not sure if the

I like the road lever/porteur bar setup. I used to do something similar
with MTB levers on the front curve of Albas. Do you find there's enough

Yep, but I wonder if anyone's tried mounting thumbies right at the ends of
the bar to have the shift levers in roughly the same position as if they
