The best builders went with clamping on shifters, guides, stops and cages. Initially it was the prefered method as builders were of the opinion the heat of brazing would effect the material in a negative way. If your bike is from 1979, than it is pretty late for a frame with everything clamped on. If it is earlier, than the components are probably not original.
