Hi,
Is it possible to fit a MTB with 9 speed or friction downtube shifters? It doesn't have braze-on's for them. I'm trying to convert a mountain bike into a touring bike, and I really really dislike gripshifters and triggershifters, or whatever they're called. i like thumbshifters, and i have read that it's possible to use bar-end shifters as thumbshifters with a special mount, but this would be too expensive. thanks for any suggestions.
