Anyone have a (deep breath) 28.6 mm band-on boss i.e a downtube shifter clamp gear lever clip? Not exactly sure what they're called to be honest. Needed as I'm adding STIs to my build and the frame lacks braze-ons. All is explained here viewtopic.php?f=23&t=292279

..I'm talking about this sort of thing



...and want to add adjusters like so

 
Yes you can buy a special part that does the job but in the past whenever I have needed bosses for ergolever/sti type adjusters I just took a pair of clamp on down tube gear levers from my spares box, removed the levers and washers revealing the bosses and clamped them it to the frame. You should find the adjusters screw in ok.

Thanks for the tip. Problem is this is my first build and so I don't have a tool box full of spares (but I'm getting there - > +1 bikes in the house already :LOL: ) Its one of these bands that I'm after. Seen the modern clips here http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/origin8-down ... prod31401/ but not keen on it looks-wise, would prefer something more 'vintage'.
 
No Spares Box :( Don't worry, you will soon acquire one :twisted:

I will look in my spares box and see what I can find.

Blitzed loads of eBay sellers over last few days with questions about these. Will add this to my watch list and all. Ta!
