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?
