A mermaid Platypus will be coming my way at some point and I've been diligently collecting parts.  I ordered Silver thumb shifters from RBW, but the mounts are sold out.  I need both sides, right and left, for my Bosco bars.  If you have a pair collecting dust and need to move them along, please contact me!  (The Microshift thumbies are also sold out or I'd buy them while I wait for RBW's stock of silver mounts to refill.)

I was in the same boat.  Velo Orange’s thumb shifter mounts work with Silver 2’s, though the exit angle isn’t as adjustable. I got a pair for my son’s Platy build with Choco bars.

I have some thimbles in a 22.2 (black) and 31.0 (silver). Reach out if interested.

Sam, thank you for your offer.   I've sent you an email.

Dorothy, thanks for your advice about the Velo Orange mounts.  I'll check it out.

Hi Joyce -- Soma has IRD thumb shifter mounts in stock in black. I believe these are the same as what Riv offers, though I could be wrong.

They also have a full set in silver which includes the levers. They're a bit spendy but if you gotta have em you could remove the levers and save them for a future build.

Thanks for the info, Eric.  I'll check the Soma website.

Sam, I tried replying to your gmail, but the message bounced back.  Thanks for offering the Pauls; they won't work with the silver shifters without an adapter.  If you've got that, please contact me again.  Otherwise, I appreciate your kind help.

Sam, yes I'd be interested in the mounts + adapters.  I prefer silver, but understand the black ones match my handlebar diameter.  Your gmail bounced back saying the mailbox was full or I'd be replying off the forum.  Let me know what you've got!
