my mate has a lovely old Scott Tampica. 3x8 Shimano shifters. The left hand front shifter is broken and his LBS say it is not made anymore. Is it possible to use a different shift lever to replace or does it have to be the same type? am i being a numpty or will any shifter do the job? would be much easier picking up something new and cheap than trawling ebay for the same part.
cheers.
