Buster,
I do like the bar end shifters. They are surprisingly intuitive. Though, I have to admit that I rarely use the big chain ring either. I have issues with the chain shifting all the way off... I have tried to tinker, but with limited success. I called the lbs (they are great!), and we are going to look at my road bike and my LHT and try to get them to ride similarly... I hope we succeeed otherwise, I may be seeing a 46 cm LHT...

It sounds like either the rotational angle is incorrect, or the front derailleur limit screws are not set correctly -- if the chain is coming all the way off, then just adjusting the cable tension with the barrel will likely not work as a temporary fix.

Look at the section on the limit screws; you can at least temporarily fix the problem by adjusting (tightening) the H / high limit screw, even if the rest of the setup is not optimized (derailleur height, rotation, limit screws, tension). On a newer Shimano derailleur, the high limit screw is usually marked "H" and the low limit "L."
