I love the bikes pictured, and what y'all have done.
This is the best place to ask:
Is there a "retro" appearing brifter? I mean gum hoods, brake cables coming out the top, but with hidden shifters?
If so, that would be really cool, to have a completely CV bike but keeping both hands on the bars when riding in a group.
I looked around on ebay and don't see anything, partly because what name would I search for?
"gum brifter"?
" sorta old school lever"?
