Maybe you have some shifters that are broken but the brake levers still work?
Maybe you have some brake-levers only that you don't need?
My pub bike has old 105 brake levers and I want to swap them for longer, modern brake levers like DA 7800 or newer. It's a pub bike so they gotta be free or cheap, hence thinking borked shifters might be ideal.
Remember that hideous splotchy bar tap from the 80s and 90s? Some of that.
