Anyone, probably in the good old days, created a neat trick to fit down tube gear levers to TT type aero extensions? Just building yet another bike out of bits and bar end levers seem to go for silly money and I have piles of down tube levers.
Could drill and put a bolt through the ends of the bars I suppose but I love to see DIY tricks.

Stem-mounted shifter brackets wouldn't be too far away, size wise? (single-sided ones, either side of the extensions) Might need to shim them slightly.

Bodge it and Scarper! :LOL:
 
I use bar end mounts with down tube levers
