Classic & Vintage - Shifter Boss Source?

I've got dreams to rebuild and upgrade my sweet riding old Fuji with downtube shifters.

Now I can only find one of my shifter bosses that I had squirelled away for the upgrade. :eek:

Does anyone have an idea where I can find one of these to braze on?

Have you tried eBay?

Thanks!

i'm pretty sure there is a US supplier...i've ordered from CeeWay, which is why i posted them

You could also try Henry James Bicycles (http://www.henryjames.com/). There's a link to braze-on sketches and a price list in the biright yellow box, halfway down the page.

I haven't ordered anything from Henry James, but I've heard good things.

The Henry james website has fueled many pipe dreams of mine.

Sorry -I couldn't resist.

See this thread in the framebuilder forum

Thanks all!

I've got the lugged steel itch bad.

I've been out whacking a no-good frame up for brazing practice. I don't want to screw up the downtube shifter bosses and waterbottle bosses on my old Fuji (not a ding or rust spot on the frame).

Of course, my ultimate goal is to going to braze and build a touring bike, paint it and then ride off somewhere next summer.

Silversmith, I've got a whole bunch of them. PM me your address and I'll send you one for free.

Whooeee!

Thank you, Dr. Deltron!

My gut-rippers are gone!

You're quite welcome. Glad somebody had a use for those things.
Now spray some candy color over that silver base and then clearcoat over the whole thing!
Happy touring!

Indeed. I've got a sweet tooth.
