Seeking craftsman to make QR, tt-mounted shifter and cable roller-guide for SA 2-speed hubs

[Patrick Moore]

I hope, God willing, to get before too long backup multispeed non-derailleur fixed gear wheels for my beloved 1999 Joe Starck Riv Road custom fixed gear (usual sense) gofast, fav bike of all time, to augment the Phil fixed/fixed wheel for longer rides in my rapidly advancing age. The hubs are respectively a NOS (!!!!) TF hub (direct and 75%; one of the lightest and simplest of SA hubs, with, I hear and hope, little lash) and a TC hub (direct and 86.54%, out for refurbishment and shell re-chroming, about 50% heavier than the TF, and, so they say, with more lash -- but, please God, less than that which diminishes the forlorn S3X hub.

Since these will be, for now at least, occasional wheels, I'd like a QR system for wheel exchanges. Thus, I'd like -- imagining here -- a hinged clamp holding a top-tube-mounted indexed shift lever, and a hinged clamp holding a SA roller wheel to guide the cable between top tube and right chainstay.

Problem solvers has various hinged clamps. I have the (original! NOS! Rare!) TF tt-mount 2-speed quadrant shifter, and of course the rollers are easy to find. I would mail out the quadrant as a model.

Excessively long leadout for this question: is there anyone "out there" in ListLand able and willing to craft me -- competently!!! -- hinged-clamp, QR (a few quick turns of an allen wrench) shifter and roller-guide? I'm willing to pay craftsman's prices for craftsman's work. (I am more than eager to let out the work to a competent craftswoman, too; we have to live with the deficiencies of our language, which has no separate term for the species and must use the word for the sex. But I have no qualms about women craftsmen.)

Thanks.
