Hi all,
my first topic on here (although I have bought from the classifieds before now). I was sent here by some guys on LFGSS.
I have a "Peugeot" lo-pro frame which I understand isn't actually a Peugeot. Here it is part-built with the non-original fork.

Not sure who built it and when, but it's reasonably light, fillet brazed, 27.2mm seatpost and British threading on the BB.
It has one DT gear lever boss (on the right), which looks like this:

So the flats go perpendicular to the DT rather than parallel like every other one I've ever seen. As a result, my Shimano Dura Ace 7402 levers won't fit properly without an ugly bodge.
Does anyone know if this is an unusual boss type for a specific lever, or has it just been installed strangely? Looking at the raw bosses online, they're curved to match the curvature of the downtube, so I don't really see how you could install it wrong...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
