Hi!

A mate wants to change the drop bars on his nice old road bike to swept back bars. I was hoping to use bar end shifters for this, as it has quite a nice look!

I actually have some really nice DA down tube shifters that I could use, if someone has the fixtures for mounting them into the end of the bar?

If not, I am after some full bar end shifters, indexed or not. I think they have 6 speed so nothing is going to index really anyway...

Happy to ride to collect within reason, I am based in Camberwell.

Thanks!

edit: Handlebar will be 22.2mm and will require the cable to be externally run, rather than internal as on modern tt bars!

Erm not sure which bit you mean.

The wedge bit that tightens into the bar is all there, you just need the to fit the levers as you can see from the photo

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
