Newwer bikes don't have the shifter bosses and using DT shifters is difficult. Has someone made an
adapter that would go into the cable stops at the top of the downtube that would permit the mounting
of a DT shifter?

The downtube is on a Cannondale tandem and very large.

Rivendell makes an adaptor to use your DT shifters as bar-cons, if nothing else comes up.

I've silver soldered shifter bosses to a stainless hose clamp for another unusual application. Get
the beefiest section clamp you can find.
