[RBW] Re: Silver DT shifters on Simplex band braze ons?

2016-09-25 Thread Call Me Jay
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.

On Flickr, verktyg gives great details about these shifters, And the bands they 
came with and can be retrofitted to. 

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.

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.
