If they're minty/excellent condition then you could expect £40-£50 from that auction site.

Ha - thanks, but now have sufficient stock to see me through the coming Rapture. 8)

Retrobike for offers, Ebay for bidding wars.... they usually go for good money.

Wish Shimano had never stopped making 'em - there's still a healthy demand....

Yep, I put up some for £10 on here and they sold in 10 seconds. Muppet - see forum name.

£30 for mine in minutes on RB.

£5, a bottle of mad dog 20/20 and a season ticket to the Bairns,,

If you swap the MD20/20 for some LD and keep yer bairns ticket we could have a deal.

I'll have 'em - email me

Don't recall xtr ever doing thumbies...rf+ but never thumbies...

Well mine have been well used on the Orange, so they ain't going to get $350, but £30-40 would be just grand! I'll whack em on Retrobike or eBay in the next few days if anyone is interested.

Certainly is demand. They are back.... I have one set of the new 9 speed micro shift thumbies on my desk... Very nice they are too. And great for touring and sand applications.

Margin walker: yeah they can be for sale. They are unboxed, and unused, came off a moonlander.

Rrp s £89.99... But call it £80 inc uk delivery. Let me know if oh want them.... Bikemonger at yahoo dot co dot uk.

Also good for acting as a lock out device for your forks/shock. I used to do this, worked better than the Rockshok Poploc.

Great idea... The pop-lock for a reba, as an aftermarket thing was £125 a few years back..... Wish I knew a thumbie would work back then.. Cheers

TJ, your email ended in my spam, has mine ended in yours?

podge it seems to be there now ta - I will answer. Just back fromup north

Alternative friction shifter uses - to control the coaster brake on a tandem.

If they did 10spd I probably still use them on my new Spark. Had DX shifters on my Stumpjumper up until I gave it away this year and still preferred them

I managed to buy a whole bike for 40 bucks that had XT thumbies, well almost XT everything. They are now on my 1992 Rocky Mountain Vertex that I built up:

Take a look at the Thumbshifter mounts made by Pauls Components - they allow modern Shimano or Sram bar end shifter to be used as thumbies.
