Thumbshifters... remember those?

[al415]

Hello, I'm kind of putting another Fat Chance together and could use some thumb shifters. Shimano or Suntour (even Campy!!) doesn't matter...

Someone must have a set getting mouldy in the basement / garage.

Will these work?

I had a Salsa a couple of years ago that I ran the Paul Thumbies w/Dura-Ace bar-end shifters. If I ran Shimano on my bike I'd probably still have them

I have a beautiful set of campagnolo down-tube shifters from the early 1970's. I've always wondered if they would work with a set of Paul's Thumbies... I used to always use shimano thumb shifters (way back when) Even after rapidfire came along I would switch them out for thumbshifters. The shimano units were always cracking at the handlebar mount...

How's the thumbshifter on that Mongoose treating you?🙂

Great! Though I'm keeping it still with electrical tape 😀 I had forgotten how positive the "click" was with these things!

I have a set of DX thumb shifters. NIB, never installed.
