And for that I'm thinking either keep the original stem shifter (probably not), find a bolt-on downtube shifter (maybe) or get a thumbie for the front and use it with the front shifter from and old set of 105 downtube shifters I have laying around (most likely).
Then I would consider the Lauterwasser bar. You can even chose between aluminum or chrome-moly.
