I had Simplex retro-friction levers shifting a hot rod NR rear derailleur across at 8 speed cassette before I recently succombed to index shifting sirens on my race bike. It shifted flawlessly albeit with what was nearly a straight block (12-21). If it was not for DT friction limitations on hills and sprints I would still have that setup on the bike!
