Trek cable stop question
What’s going on with the downtube cable stops on this 79 510? I emailed the seller for better pics. I thought this had clamp on stops, it’s either brazed on stops or magic.

I just got a better pic, they’re braze on stops. Is this a normal thing on these?

The presence of these stops shows that the maker assumed the bike would have bar-end or stem-mounted shifters, i,e. not mounted on the down tube.

My ‘84 760 has an extra braze on front derailleur mount, JohnDThompson confirmed as an available option.
|
As brian3069 notes, these were an added-cost option at the time.

The Vintage Trek site has a "Price Lists" section- braze on cable guides and stops were $3.00 a pop.

Yep, a guy I worked with ordered them for his new 510 frameset. Years later I had a local guy add them to my own used 510.
