Why did bicycle racers in the 60's/70's sometime go with bar-end shifters
Anyone in the C&V community want to throw out their ideas on why bicycle racers in the 60's and 70's might have periodically raced with their bicycles set up with bar-end shifters? What were the bar-end shifters of the day... Campy and Simplex? It was just an observation I took away from the photographs people posted with my earlier questions on M.A.F.A.C. racer brake sets. Theories? Facts? Show us if you got them...
