I have a 10 year old Centurion Comp TA, which I have been upgrading
over the past year (New wheels, cassette, derrailers) from Shimano New
600EX to Ultegra components. Everything works fine except.....
The new index shifting levers were not compatible with my braze-on
fittings, so I stayed with friction shifting. I want to complete the
upgrade with STI, but would prefer to use my existing braze-on's to
mount the cable stops rather than use a clamp-on fixture.
Has anyone successfully adapted STI to the "old style" braze on
fittings?
Thanks,
Jim

An update, in case anyone else runs into the same problem....
It turns out my lugs were not "old" style, but an alternative style
that was tried a few years ago. (the base of the lug, rather than beinf
square, is round with a protruding square "key"). After going to
several shops who had no idea how to solve the problem, this great
mechanic took the cable stops to the bench grinder and cut enough
material away to fit over the key. It worked great!
