STI conversion.
Posted: 08 Aug 2021 21:11
Good evening everyone,
I wonder if someone could assist me with the following question.
I have just joined the forum and plan joining Beacon RCC in the next few weeks.
Anyway I have been looking for a new bike and earlier this evening I was offered a Barracuda Azurri 6000 at a ridiculously cheap price by one of my neighbours. It has an aluminum frame.
The only issue is that the gear shifters are on the downtube.
My question is would it be at all possible to convert to STI shifters? Ask far as I can see the bike is equipped with a Sunrace gear set up.
I doubt very much that Shimano STI's would be compatible.
The bike is immaculate.
Any advice would be welcome.
Ride safe
Kind and warm regards
Kali-Ann
