Thanks for the response! Yes, must have been a Will email. I'm building up a Sam, with drop bars. I know I'll almost never shift to the small derailer as the chainrings are 38 and 24. I was trying to figure out if there's a benefit to the stem mounted front-derailer shifter and drop bars. I suppose the primary benefit is freeing up handlebar space on say, an albatross bar. I wonder if it makes sense to go this route with drop bars? Any thoughts? The novelty alone appeals to me, but novelty is not enough if it's otherwise pointless.
