Simplex bar end shifters are as bad as or even worse than Campy bar end shifters unless they are the retrofrictions and those are very rare.

Well, there's this legendary contraption...

I concur with Grand Bois, and am currently scouring the Internet for another Simplex retrofriction bar end shifter. If anyone(ahem) could help me with this, it would really tie my 650b Jack Taylor tandem project together. No intentions of hijacking this thread, Cheers!
