Hello, I am in need of replacing some worn-out bar end shifters on a 1985 Trek 720 touring bike that I am restoring. The existing are Suntour. Rear is 5 cogs, front 3 cogs, Sachs-Huret Duopar derailleur. I'm trying to keep as much of it original as possible, but since this will be a long-distance tourer again, I need reliability.
Are the Shimano Ultegra shifters that claim to be switchable between index and friction compatible with older friction derailleurs? Any other suggestions appreiated. Ebay's choice of replacement originals is not very promising.
Thanks,
Court
