2) The shift levers are standard Suntour fare -- I just had to forego using the standard lever stop spacer because the square of the spacer was obstructed by a tab on the Shimano pod's square boss. I know that's kind of a fuzzy description, so I will try to take some pics later and post to better explain.

3) Here is the thread I followed for the "custom" Symmetric cable stop: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...-shifters.html

Hope this helps!
ha! figured those had to be nitto's given the bend profile

yeah, that is a tad fuzzy. anything you'd care to share on how to would be appreciated

and, thanks for the link. i'm on it!

btw, have i mentioned how lovely that blue is?
