Up for grabs is a near mint 3-speed converted to a 4-speed, this one started out as a barely used shifter, I believed it was installed and immediately put on a shelf given the zero wear to the pins and the nobs had virtually no wear to them. Have other 3-speed to 4-speed conversions coming up in the future but this one is the best cosmetically.

Customer opted for a budget friendly mechanical refurbishing only, was one of the most damaged main levers I've come accross and I've seen many home repairs on these over the years. Got it functional without having to weld up and mill a new slot (which would have been very costly and time consuming). Lots of adjustments on this one but now works like a dream!
