So Many Uses for Prestige Shift Levers !!!
1. Converting retrofriction braze-on levers to clamp on.
2. When turned around, it's much cheaper and more readily available than the "other" type of simplex barcon cable stop :

3. One donor set of levers can service 2x Carlton Raleighs lacking their 4mm brass Centerpull Cable Adjusters !!!
4. The wingnuts are undoubtedly compatible with Sunrace modern friction shifters (which have cyclone pattern aluminum levers!)
Geez, it seems the only thing that the lowly prestige shift lever CAN'T DO WELL IS TO SHIFT GEARS without snapping (which is what happened to my prestige levers in ~1976, incidentally) !!!
