What model was your Jamis?
I had a Ventura Comp for a while that I really liked.

I've got downtube shift 10 speed Dura-Ace on the Trek and every time I think about doing something different with it I feel like it will be a downgrade.
I feel like the bike wants to wear a triple crank and bar end shifters, but long cage DA can be hard (and expensive) to find.
