    Downtube shifters

    Upgrading to indexed gears since the smallest cog on my helicomatic setup has finally died. My downtube shifters are of the brazed on kind - does anyone know if these are standardized, or am I going to run into bother by trying to put shimano ones on? The standard shifters are black plastic suntour.

    Sending downtube shifters to hades

    So, got myself a Record Sprint. 105 golden arrow rear mech, sachs front mech, brazed on downtube shifters.
