Thinking of buying a frame to use for a raod bike build up. The frame is an old Ishiwata Magny "V" tubing, in quite nice condition. Only, I'm not sure avout the terminology.

What are: "brazed on cable guides for rear derailleur and bottom pull band-on front changer.

It has a stop on the downtube for band-on gearchangers"

I know the "cable guides" are the loops for long cabling to go under with no stops, but what is the band on front changer/gear changers. Am I right in thinking it means the friction changes that were attatched via a clamp as opposd to braze-ons. If so, is it possible to buy cable stops to replace the changers, as the bike I hope to build up is a tourer with changers on the bars.
