closetbiker;
Unless your drops were an oddball size the Jtek bar end shifter should have been a useable option. I have one on a Nitto Randonneur bar on my Alfine hub drop bar bike and it works very well. The Jtek fits over the end of standard diameter road drop bars so will fit even the thick walled ones.
