I just put the DuraAce 9 speed downtube shifters on my 58 Hunqa. I run the rear one on indexed mode and I actually like them a lot. Reach is not too bad although I usually find myself coasting while I shift since I have to remove one hand from the handlebar. At this time, I'd be hard pressed to say if I prefer them on the downtube or on the stem quill as I have them on the Atlantis right now: *http://tinyurl.com/3l9oxn5*
I don't think that if I was running Noodles or equivalent I'd put them on the downtube but now the Homer is my only remaining bike with that setup and I haven't ridden it in a while.
