I'm trying to think of reasons I shouldn't do this but I'm really not coming up with any.   The TT on my 65 Clem is about the same as my more roadie Rivs.  I will want a shorter stem, but that's NBD, 100mm  instead of 140.  I have some 48cm noodles lying around and some 9 speed bar ends.  Levers will need to be obtained,  or travel agents.   Cassette will have to be changed from stock 8 speed to 9 for the bar ends I have in the parts bin, have several 9 speed cassettes on hand also.

I ran drops using a fairly short stem. I really enjoyed that setup for commuting on the paved bike trail

Dave,

What kind of derailleur do you have?  Looks nice.

Hi Jim-
It is a Microshift R10. The body is actually shiny metal, not silver paint. The long cage is generally much harder to find. I think I bought my last 2 from a place called VeloVitality in the UK. Not that expensive.
