Thanks !
Actually, that's the DiaCompe Wing shifters, they're amazing !
They're friction only but they can go 11s !
In fact, that's what they call microratcheting. Combined with a Shimano cassette, it shifts really smooth . . .
As for the horn, it's a real life saver when you're on the road with traffic . . . If you don't have something real loud, they don't hear you . . .
The MBK was originally an MTB with a 28-40-48 triple, that I changed into 26-36-48 for touring since I need lower gears when loaded . . . I ran it with a 8s 11-32 cassette and it worked well. Still, I could go lower . . .
