Where is a source for braze on shifter lugs. I am doing utility/commutter bike project, using an old nishiki steel frame. I may end up keepiing down tube shifter (single rear drailler) but want to go indexed, so I may have to end up fabricating a clamp with braze on shifter lugs.

thanks

Nova and Henry James have them also But they both are high on shipping for small order amounts.

This is a timely thread for me. I was just looking to add some braze-on downtube shifter bosses.

Two questions:

1.) Are the bosses Campy/Shimano specific? I had a pair of bosses that came with a set of Suntour Cyclone shifters, but I misplaced one of them.

2.) Will 56% silver have adequate strength? I'm used to working with silver in smaller apps (jewelry) but not on steel.

1) one size fits all

2) 56% silver works fine

Thanks Potus and Velonomad!

I've just been looking at some of Velonomad's handicraft. Very inspirational.
