The shifters that come with these levers by default don't have a rear friction mode, but you can get them without a shifter and mount your own bar end or downtube shifter on their widget. @jyl has a bike set up with vintage Simplex shifters on RetroShift (their old name) levers.
BTW, the bike that just won best of show at NAHBS had a custom set of Gevenalle levers with Campagnolo shifters.

In the example you quoted, it is possible the hangar could have been tweaked slightly before the cold set, or afterwards by something else. I never had a reason to check the hangar when I was running 7 or 9 speed friction. But the angle of misalignment was consistent with being caused by the cold set.

I just got back in from 23 miles on this. Some changes I mad yesterday worked to help the comfort. Still a lot of resistance somewhere in the drivetrain/wheels. I managed a 19 mph avg but it took a lot more effort than it should have on a calm day. Potential is there.

That's not my bike, and I don't know what the bar tape is. Apparently whatever it is has been customized.

You took the photo with your phone flipped the other way. The phone saves orientation data but not all software reads or applies this data.

Does a bike with 10-speed indexed downtube shifters belong here? I say yes! Here is the latest version of my 650B Bianchi.

Nice bike, but this thread is specifically for bikes with integrated shifter/brake levers, not downtube levers/bar ends whether or not they're indexed. Says so right in the title.

I don't mind Sora. In fact I just put an entire Sora Group (except cranks) on my recently acquired Torpado Super Strada. It is comfortable and shifts great.

It would give me an extra excuse to post my '84 Super Sport (6-speed Superbe Pro friction DT shifters) with a full 600 Tricolor 7-speed indexed groupset from only a few years later, as well as my Masi with it's newer 10-speed DA DT shifteres with corresponding 7800 derailleurs.

I find it neat to see what people do with framesets you sold. Lookin' good, and comfortable.
