I'm plotting out my plan of attack to continue modernizing my Pinarello road rocket and would like to know the feasibility of converting from the DT shifters (all Pinarellos of late '80s through mid-'90s vintage seem to have come with them by default) to more modern, 10-speed indexed brifter shift levers. The only technical problem that I can see is there's no "cup" for the cable shroud to sit in at the top part of the DT. Well, that and there will be two "holes" in the side of the DT if/when I remove the existing DT shifters.

What recommend ye? I suppose I could braze on a cup for the cable shroud someplace or (even better) it'd be really slick if someone knows of anyone making a conversion piece that maybe plugs into the existing DT shifter location (once the shifters come off) and has them built into those "plugs" for exactly this kind of conversion - anyone know of anything like that? Otherwise I'll have to sand down the paint and braze those suckers on, which I'd rather avoid (implications for frame strength, etc.) I think I can do it pretty cleanly, but the less I molest the frame the better I figure. . .
