F fritzlite Senior Retro Guru Jan 13, 2010 #1 for road bars, want to use downtube shifters.. cheaper alternative?...
B barry2017 Old School Grand Master Jan 13, 2010 #3 Any barend shifter will give you the mounts for your downtube levers.
F fritzlite Senior Retro Guru Jan 14, 2010 #4 nice.. but would like them to be placed just beside the stem...
F fritzlite Senior Retro Guru Jan 14, 2010 #6 like older mtb flatbar shifters.. but for race dropbars sorry, dont know what gutrippers are..(?)
B barry2017 Old School Grand Master Jan 14, 2010 #7 Gut rippers were a nickname for the levers you see on really cheap, seventies road bikes with suicide levers. They mounted on the stem, with the levers facing you. They are rubbish, you'll get some that someone has ditched if you ask nicely.
