The Sachs Rival shifters are very elegant looking and the same space as shipmano 7spd. They worked great with the 600 RD I had on this bike but I started running them in micro friction mode. so when I found that beautiful Sprint derailleur I decided to use these to go friction.
You mean the indexing works correctly with something like RD-6208 EX or RD-6400? That's interesting. I like the shape and overall look of these Rival shifters, if they could be used with Shimano derailleurs, that's great news when in comes to getting spares.
