  • New to me kuwahara Ishiwata 022 56cm beaut that came fixed with all orginal 'jdm' shimano 105 parts.

    I am currently slinging on modern 105 but neglected to source a downtube clamp cable stop.

    My plan is to eventually source or build up some new wheels and slowly upgrade the bearings etc. Once completed I'll got for a respray.

    Rather than purchasing a generic problem solver cable stop, does anyone have a period correct lug look clamp I can buy or no where I can? All the ones I find are £25 purchase and £45 shipping from trump land...

    What else would you do it?

    You wait ages and then two come along at once :)

    Do you have the SL-105[0|1|5] or whatever band-clamp downtube levers? If so, you can take the lever parts off and you're left with the bosses needed to attach conversion cable stops as you would on something with brazed-on downtube lever bosses. I've got a set of SL-1055 band clamp levers apart on the desktop, and it looks like the Tiagra stops should be the best match. And if you don't have the original gear levers, did I mention that I've got a set of SL-1055... :)
