Jim, That is very close to my layout for a bike I am planning. I was thinking of putting a set of clamp on DT shifters on the ST. One coud be routed to the hub, if needed, routed around a pullty on the upper rack boss. The second shifter could be for a BB dyno. The theory was about me getting another job here in town and wanting a beater comuter that was easy on the mild hills here in town. If the frame I end up using had shift bosses on the DT I was just going to work out longer cable runs.
