Oh. I hadn't even thought about it. I've never owned a bike that had downtube shifter mounts.
The downtube cable stops people use on bikes with downtube shifter mounts like the Atlantis (as opposed to brazed-on cable stops like the Hillborne) must not be slotted like the brazed-on cable stops are. Is it conceivable that someone sells a slotted cable stop that fits onto a downtube shifter mount? Perhaps it couldn't have an effective barrel adjuster if they did. Sorry... just had an ah-ha moment. Rare enough, they are. Still, though... you'd need to have additional cable stops only if you had additional handlebar setups, right? If it's just a matter of taking off / putting on the same cockpit, wouldn't you just leave the downtube shifter bosses empty? Or is there nothing simpler to plug them with than a downtube cable stop?
