• I have what I thought were 7-speed Dura Ace downtube shifters (and the corresponding rear mech).

    I've managed to track down an assembly diagram, which looks like this:

    BUT

    the parts I have look like this (sorry for crappy photo):

    Similar to what's listed on eBay as a "6-speed" set of shifters (below).

    So I ask:

    1. Do I have 7 or 6 speed shifters, and how does one tell?
    2. Might I have
      a 6-speed mech and how would I know?
    3. How the hell do I assemble the
      parts I have?

    Thanks, wise people.
