Simplex Prestige Down Tube Shifter | eBay

If you are looking for one of those Simplex, I've got one (maybe two?) in the bins. If you've got an FD 1050/1051, I owe [MENTION=209379]tyler_fred[/MENTION] a return favor.

Thanks! I think those are too early...as [MENTION=131041]mountaindave[/MENTION] mentioned.

FWIW I tapped the existing brazed-on boss to 4.5 so it would take an SIS downtube shifter.

And I'm fine tapping the banded boss, which is probably what I'll have to do when I locate one.

TIA!
