Finally looked at the back of my old scratched C-Record cranks, 4 in a circle. 1984 when they were made, they came on a bike with a real kluge of parts The cranks can be returned to a pleasing condition, just lots of work ahead.

FWIW - I chose to go with the friction setup and I LOVE it but I did acquire a set of Sychro 2 shifters with a 6 speed insert. At some point, I might want to try a 7. Thanks.

For the classic, I though OK, I'll give it an honest shot with a renewed attitude from your persepctive
I picked up a pair of NOS Syncros 2 levers. They have 6 speed inserts as well, so Kurt, I need you to hook me up with the 7 speeds please
I'm on holidays perusing the Bike Shops in Calgary, but not seeing a lot of things I want. I did find a sort of Vintage looking Bottle holder

Hope he has the 7s...which color insert do you need?

I have a pair of machines with those two models of Shimano D-T shifters, and I must tell you, I nearly rip the skin off of my hand if I try to pull (or push) from one end of the block to another.

Kurt, after a bit of research it loks like I may need a Blue Syncros insert. Can you get those?

Is there a way to make them smoother? lighter? easier?
I don't know how to describe the action but I'm staying with the 600 unless I can get the DA to shift with less force.
