I notice on your build that you seem to have an attachment that slips over the downtube shifter bosses, however. Where can I get these, and what are they called?
Thanks so much for your help.
Your shifters should have come with downtube cable stops. Both Shimano and Campy make them. They fit over the downtube shifter bosses and serve as cable guides when you use brifters. Here's a link to the Shimano ones:
