Thanks for the photos info. Whoduh thunk those old Suntour stem
shifters would ever get respect? Must be the Silver levers that make
your set-up look so good. I gotta think about this one; been using
bar ends for at least 20 years still poke myself and hit the lever
sometimes, and

If that is the case, find old Shimano L422 stemmies. They are rachet
fore and aft, beautifully finished and work like crazy. They are from
about 1986 for you retro guys.

Doug,
My stem shifter solution:
Took a set of old Suntour stem shifters and replaced the shifting
levers with the Rivendell Silver Shifters. I had to file/apply
sandpaper to the posts on the Suntour shifter mounts a hair in order
to get the Rivendell shifters to fit.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a manufacturer making modern, well
built stem mounted shifters anymore (or ever)? You know,
Suntour made power-ratchet stem mount shifters. A little digging in
parts bins will turn up a nice pair I'm sure.

Yes, decisions such as this one require considerable contemplation,
research, analysis, soul-searching, and, certainly not least,
consultation.
You can't just jump into these things. Who knows what would happen?

Please post if you find something. I checked my Arabesques the
clamp is way bigger than the stem. It would need a thick shim to work
I'd probably start with a couple of tire boots or something equally
ugly.
Whatever's on Jenny's Homer is clean looking fits the look of the
bike.

Now you've done it. I bought a nearly complete Arabesque group from a
guy a couple of years ago for a project that didn't happen, and among
the goodies was just such a set. Now I've got to find them
contemplate installing them on the Atlantis. It's that time of year

The coolest things I've seen is custom steel stems with downtube
bosses brazed onto the stem. Ahearne in particular features them
often.

If Jenny from Point Loma sees this maybe she'll chime in. She has
them on her Homer they look good. I haven't gotten a close look but
they look better than the ones common back in the 70s/80s. It's a
clean look that elminates all the clutter of the bar ends I've been
using forever. Definitely
These look pretty good, classic like on the old schwinns. Says 5/6
speed but it's friction and looks like plenty long throw.

Oh my gosh - do you happen to have access to a used bike shop or
cycling co-op kind of place? There must be a half dozen places here in
Portland that have, like, boxes - literally - of Shimano and Suntour
stem-mount shifters. I doubt you're likely to find anything better
than those old classics.
