Interesting Mark-B, you put a lot of time and money in to the rebuild. Bet you could have gotten by cheaper if you just bought a good used 2010 or so era road bike, but its lots of fun to rebuild an old classic. Yes, you did say in your posting "i've long wanted index shifting" so I get that. But its 2020 now, im sure you investigated Shimano STI shifters (shift levers integrated with brake levers) or SRAM's same product. Maybe its because the you could not spread the rear chainstays more than 5 mm to accomodate a nine speed cassette? I dont beleive you can get an 8 speed STI package any longer. In fact finding a 9 speed might be tough. Anyway, for your next bike, take it from someone who's been there - upgrading from indexed downtube shifting to STI is like going from a model T to a '57 chevy. Good luck and watch out for the texters on the road.
