The Svelto is only supposed to handle a 26T, but it works on my set up. Perhaps only having to shift across two cogs helps. The 24T is a dished F&S from Bikesmith, and I made the 28 from a flat Miche cassette cog and filed off the extra tabs. The think the hyperglide ramps aid with the shifting without having to over shift. I added a single Sturmey spacer between the two cogs. I use an old Shimano friction thumb shifter mounted on the right side next to the Sturmey shifter to enable quick split shifting if desired (though I never do). The old single lever Huret stem shifter would undoubtedly look classier.
