[RBW] Re: Silver DT shifters on Simplex band braze ons?
Thanks for all of the tips and insight. Upon closer inspection, my bike apparently has a half band with a frame braze on the other side. Looks like I'm stuck using Simplex. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Here's one direct link: https://flic.kr/p/a2py7V Read around in that album. Also, there's a guy selling old huret bands tapped to iso for either downtube shifters or sti stops. Around $15. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I've done this but you need longer bolts. I used to know the size, but that was long ago. I bought them at the hardware store.
