I use Silver downtube on my Jamis Aurora and Silver barend on my Sam Hillborne and I got to say if I was being honest with myself, I don't know if I will ever really go back to index shifters. Maybe on a mountainbike because the quick precise shifting may be more helpful with the quickness of terrain change, but not on a roadbike (assuming I don't suddenly turn into a bike racer). I just love the simplicity of the good old friction shifters, I love the fact that I have to actually think a little more about when to shift and I love setting them up. Just plain easy. They aren't for everybody though, some like the clicks of indexing and like the preciseness of shifts, assuming that the system is set up right, but I just like them to be nice and smooth. The ability to go the entire length of the cassette has helped me out on the rolling hills here.
