Looking for a set of Silver1 shifters if anyone has them. Or any suggestion for equally elegant and efficient downtube shifters. How about a nice looking old silver front derailleur? thanks J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Hi Keith - I've ruled out 10 and 11 speed as I want to be able to swap wheels between bikes and have several bikes with 9 speed setups. And I don't care if I have a friction option. Not sure how that impacts things unless I was interested in brifters (which I am not). Thanks, Corwin On

I was not able to locate 9 spd Shimano DS so I bought Microshift 9 spd DS instead. Like you, I only require index shifting and having used them for over 3000 miles, the Microshift have worked very very well. They are also cheaper than Dura Ace. https://www.microshift.com/models/sl-d09/

Just thinking out loud and clarifying before I suggest something wrong: If you use 10 speed shifters and want indexing, you'd have to use the alternate cable attachment hack, right? 9 speed era and later, the dura ace cable pull was the same as other shimano products, so you don't necessarily

Second on the RandiJo cover. For my Brooks saddles, hers is a clever design that features an under-the-saddle piece that slips under, between the two saddle loops and then attaches via Velcro to the cover part under the nose…. Hard to explain unless you see it, but it’s the only cover I’ve been
