I would like to see some pics of your similar solutions.
All the components I see are less than aesthetically pleasing.
I’m a longtime road biker.
Downtube and those brake lever shifters are the only ones I know well.
This will be a 1x.
Bar end shifters are not to be suggested.
Thank you for the help.
