That brings them up to par with 1980s Suntour technology. :-) Suntour's top-mounted downtube shifters did that. No description on this link, but you can see a photo: http://www.retrobicyclesupply.com/suntour-milax-top-mount-shifters.html There is a cam mechanism inside that moves the left shifter axis a tiny amount up or down depending on the position of the right shifter. They did not work with standard braze-on downtube shifter bosses.
