Sachs Huret ratcheting shifters

One set of Sachs Huret ratcheting shifters.

Pictures here, sorry for the picture quality if I have time tomorrow I'll take some better ones.

$30.00 shipped.

I honestly have no idea what to value these at so if I am way off base with my price please let me know.

Excellent shifters!

I prefer them to the regular Suntour ratcheting shifters, and kind of a horse a piece between them and the Sprint shifters.

GLWTS!!!

I did use them briefly and if I could comfortably use downtube shifting I'd definitely keep them as they're the best friction shifters I've used but I had to be honest with myself that I'd never use them and give someone else a chance.

I hear you. Out of all my bikes, I have only one with DT shifters. Right now it's wearing Simplex Retrofrictions... IMO, those haven't been topped. But I did actually go out and buy another set of the Sachs/Huret shifters just to get the Sachs/Huret band clamp to use on that bike!

IMO- these are some of those parts that someday, someone is going to say something about them... People will jump on it and then they'll be the next "Retrofriction" craze.
