Fun project! The Suntour VX-GT would be the easy choice for an RD, although I like the look of the Shimano Crane/LeTour GT300 myself. I suppose RD choice will depend on whether you choose to go indexed or not. I'm also partial to the original "Twin Stik" stem shifters. Those would also allow you to use any funky handlebar design you want. Whatever you do, send us pics!!!
