disagree) from friction shifters. They "click" into each gear as you move the
shift lever, making it easier to accurately shift gears.SIS can be on downtube shifters, barcon shifters, etc and is not necessarily
the latest "combined brake shifter" setup. Campag Ergo and Shimano STI are
probably what you want.See: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/shifters.html
But... why are you asking about fitting gears to a singlespeed in a
singlespeed forum??!?!hippy
