Tool kit of the ages: Duct tape, WD/40, magic marker, Leatherman multi-
tool and zip ties.
But my elitist leather mudflaps are attatched to my fancy pants
stainless steel fenders with
frou-frou hardware.

On two different bikes I use Silver downtube shifters with 7 speed
IRD freewheels
and Campy Mirage and a Champ rear derailleur.
I can't believe how well this works in comparison to 70's-80's top
end Campy (Record/Super Record).
I stil have to ease off a little to down shift while climbing but, a
indle.

I just can't get into reading on a "device". It is so much better to slop
my breakfast on on paper.

I have found that using DT friction shifters on anything with more
than 7 cogs
is too fussy due to the reduced space between the cogs.
I have the Silver DT's on a bike ith a 9 speed and I am always
overshifting.
6 and 7, no problems.
