Hi
Anyone got one of these? They're obsolete now and weren't very popular even when they were manufactured which is why it's a longshot. $60 NOS on eBay 
. Problem is I've got a perfectly good 4 speed hub and the bloody shifter's in storage in another country!
I have an integrated brake lever/ twist shifter tucked away if it's any use?
I was also going to experiment with friction thumbshifters which might be another option for you

blimey, really - a Shimano Nexus 4 speed one? Gosh. I think the brake/shifter units that were sold were packaged with hub brakes but I have V-brakes, so I had been looking for shifter alone so far. But do you know offhand if that would work?
Cheers
The bike it came from was a Ventura cruiser with canti brakes (Y-brakes) so lever throw may not be right for V-brakes (it's a 4-finger lever anyways so a bit big :p). The hub brake assemblies are fitted via a spline so not necessarily a must on all hubs.
I'll check if the twist shifter is separable or not when I get home.

Aah, I see, bugger. It's been a while since I have seen one but I think that the brake lever is not detachable from the shifter, unfortunately.
If it's not too deeply buried, I would appreciate it if you could have a look - but no rush or anything, obviously - it's been sitting for months already!
Hey Bunnyboy
I've had a look and no, the lever isn't detachable. It's also got broked at some point as well so probably no good.
It is however just a multi-engagement twist shifter so I see no reason why you couldn't retro fit a friction thumbie or RevoShift twist shifter. Mark up the gear engagement points yourself if you wish too.
I'll have a root round at work to see if there's anything better I can do for you. We do quite abit with IGH so might be able to turn something up.
Hit me up on the email in my profile so I can contact you easier. This thread is getting buried!
