FS: older model Paul Thumbies, Shimano 22.2mm, black

[thomasl...@comcast.net]

Hi, all.

Look ma! No hinges!

Just to date them: I think hinges appeared on Paul's Thumbies not long after I bought these. Early teens?

They've been used lightly, if ever. I'm their only owner. I just can't remember ever cabling them up or putting shifters on them or putting them on a bar at all. If I did, I undid it all years ago.

$75 shipped to any of the 48 contiguous states. Others I'll need to research but am happy to do so.

I've just realized, given how the pictures are arranged, that one might conclude that I'm selling four Thumbies.

I am not.

This thread is about a single pair of Thumbies.

Sorry for any raised hopes!

Do you know if these work with older sun tour style ratchet shifters? The really popular silver ones with black paddles.

I have no direct awareness of the sun tour shifters you reference. But I would not expect them to work. Sorry.

I've used nothing but Shimano BS-64 (8-speed lives!) shifters on Thumbies. But I know that Paul Component went to the trouble of producing a "Silver Shifter Adapter" to allow the Rivendell Silver shifters to be used on Shimano-style Thumbies. I have the impression that the sun tour shifters you're talking about are more like Rivendell Silver shifters than my Shimano shifters, based on what I've read on the Rivendell web-site, and probably not work without some similar "adapter" for Thumbies, new or old. Paul Component have since discontinued making the "Silver Shifter Adapter" (don't know when that happened).

They won't even work with Suntour Sprint/Silver1 without a doohickey Paul no longer sell so I see no chance of any Suntour shifter working.

Thanks for the clarification.
