Anyone have an extra pair of downtube stops for Silver Shifters? These would be the washers with a square hole that fit over the downtube bosses and have a stop welded on--the extra bits that get shipped with the shifters that you don't need if you're using them as bar-ends. 

A set of Silver bar-ends came with my bike, and after a couple years of being very happy with the Campy brifters I installed when I first got the bike I've got a hankering to try something different. Downtube shifters are pretty far down there on a 62cm 650b Saluki, but the simplicity of it all is appealing. 

Thanks.

Hey Rob,
I'm in Seattle and I have some that are from a set of Gran Compe shifters. Brand new, never used since I decided to get shifter pods instead.

My bar-end shifters got moved to the DT on my 65 AHH. I don't have the part your'e looking for. I do have DT shifters on a big-ish frame. Yeah, they're a ways down there, especially since I switched to Alba bars, but I'm not a frequent shifter so it's fine. My other bike has a busy cockpit so the cleaner cockpit on the AHH that the DT shifters allow is pleasant. It also allows for easier bar changes... not that I'm swapping bars on a regular basis, but I like to have options.
