Not anything you'll be able to brag about on BikeForums, but inexpensive and effective:
Shimano 8-speed 11-34
Shimano Altus derailleurs
Shimano Deore 40-30-22 crankset
Microshift bar end shifters
94-17 gear inches
...
Question - how is that Microshift shifter working for you?
I ask because a few years ago I met a gal on a brevet that had one, and it stopped holding it in gear, she ended up riding much of the brevet on the smallest sprocket when she got tired of holding the lever in position against the spring. I do not know how many speeds it was, but it was a Microshift. I assumed it was a one off problem, did not think about it any more.
But a friend of mine a couple weeks ago had one that was not working well, I had to use an allen wrench to get it to work well but I could not get it too tight. His had three years of use on it.
But my Shimano eight speed bar end shifters, they have been trouble free for ... <drum roll> ... 18 years. I have the Shimano eight speed (BS64) shifters on three bikes.
