My 1973 Mondia came with Campagnolo Bar end shifters and they are OK . I prefer down tube only because that is what I have ridden for over 45 years. My daughter loves the Suntour Power Bar End Shifters that came on her Raleigh Super Grand Prix. I have an identical set in my parts bin waiting for a bike , then I can compare with the Campagnolo. I like the ratcheting on the SunTour , the Campy ones don't have that.
