WTB Shimano 7sp SIS Bar End Shifters (or flat mount DT)
I am converting an 80's Motobecane from drop bars + DT shifters to flat bars + thumbies for an older friend.
I purchased the Paul Components Thumbies mounts to use with SL-1055 DT shifters, but did not realize the shifter's curved mounts would not work with the Thumbies.
Does anyone have a set of SL-BS50 bar end shifters, or another option that would allow me to achieve 7sp indexing with my Shimano freewheel and my RD-1055 rear derailleur? Flat mount DT shifters should work fine as long as they can index to 7sp.
Many thanks!

Death fork? Naaaah!!
Two minutes and a belt sander turn a curved mount into a flat one.
10 minutes and a file.

Currently sold out at Rivendell, but think these would also sold your problem, correct?

If you can’t find them elsewhere, I do have a set of 7 seed barends to sell.

Any of these solutions would work, I would think...the third option gives you some levers for parts.
