well, to tell you the truth, i want downtube shifters, friction shifters don't bother me a bit. to tell you the truth, i usually ride my track bike everywhere so i'm used to one gear and never stopping my feet...

so any 9 speed der. and a friction shifter will do it...or bar end shifters.

can anyone tell me what kind of hub this is?
