Eric,
The one thing i think can mess you up is whether the shimano shifters
will mount on to the bar-pods. Are there any special washers/fittings
when you mount them to the downtube? The bar-pods don't work with
shifters that require special fittings, for example i have an old pair
of shimano dt
I can't think of any reason the shifter should be affected. The "pod"
consists of an insert to which a post get attached. The shifter
mounts on the post, just as it is on a down tube. I'll bet someone at
Riv has tried this combo, so you can call and ask when you order them.

item is not something yo
