i've seen that post/thread. it gave me the idea, really. however, i'm not looking to do something like that. my idea is to use the clamp with it's mounting bolt to hold a pulley thereby using the shifters i already have. no way i'm going bouncing down gravel roads with seat tube mounted friction shifter....haha! i like to keep my hands on the bars for those rides
