Who's the Boss
I inquired about this Centurion Ironman frame having DT shifter bosses and the seller claims they are there. I see the plates brazed on, but no posts. I say it's been drew'd.

You are correct. Seller is incorrect. Clamp on shifters would work, with the remnants of the boss acting as a stop so they don't slide down.

Yep. Seller doesnt know what he is talking about. If he cant be straight about the bosses, what else is wrong with that frame...

He's made the correction in his description. If the price stays low, this is a FG-SS special.

Ahh.......yes he did. For someone with brazing skills it could be a nice project on a Tange 1 frame.

r0ckh0und, If nothing else has been removed, I wonder if cable stops would work allowing bar end, integrated or stem shifters to be used.

PS Would require drilling and tapping along with a longer screw.

Yer all nutz, it's Bruce Springsteen. 
That's kinda messed up, but clamp-on bands would work fine there, as has been mentioned. I hope someone got a fair price on it.
