Fitting d/t lever bosses

Post by rjb »

I am working on a trike project currently and am considering how best to fit down tube levers to an aluminium Giant XTC frame with no provision for them. The top tube is oval where i wish to put them and the top tube lines up nicely with the gear cable stops near the seat tube. Cannondale made a kit at one time but now long discontinued and Nova also produced a better after market upgrade. This appears to be also not available anymore. Has anybody managed this or do i have to fashion something similar on my lathe. Any suggestions?

At the last count:- Peugeot 531 pro, Dawes Discovery Tandem, Dawes Kingpin X3, Raleigh 20 stowaway, 1965 Moulton deluxe, Falcon K2 MTB dropped bar tourer, Rudge Bi frame folder, Longstaff trike conversion on a Giant XTC 840 :D
