I'm contemplating the possibility of installing Campagnolo bar-ends on a frame that has dt braze-ons for the shifter levers.
The question is, back in the day, was there some kind of special adaptor for doing this? Or did those come along later and you just lived with dt levers if there were braze-ons on your frame?
The modern cable stops for dt braze-on bosses look too... well...modern! I'd sure like to use a period-correct item, if such a thing ever existed. My memory says it didn't... what say you?
Thanks.

Chas: My memory agrees with yours. I recall some black plastic doo-hickeys (that's the technical term for them) that came along in the '80s to adapt d/t shifter braze-ons for cable housing, then later the aluminum thingys (more tech. vocab.) that did the same thing....
