The Muscle Bike Stick Shifter from the 1970s by Shimano is a vintage piece of cycling equipment that adds a unique touch to any bike. This shifter, made in Japan in 1971, comes with extra brackets for easy installation on other bikes that dont have two top tubes. With its classic design and functionality, this stick control shifter is a sought-after item for vintage bicycle enthusiasts looking to add a touch of retro style to their ride. Stick Shifters were banned by Consumer Product Safety Code in 1974. Now you can add a stick shifter to replace your thumb grip or twist grip.
