Shimano stm567 lx shifters common or not

[Retro junkie]

Hi guys
Have the chance to purchase some along with some other parts but have not seen these before! They are very tidy with few scuffs or marks. Just wanted to know are they a bit thin on the ground these days or not


Cheers rich

I have found them to be pretty easy to get, if you're willing to pay approx $70usd they are almost always available on ebay NOS. Found most of mine locally in the US though.

I'm a fan of that specific model, slightly different lever shape than most Shimano levers in a good way. Also have the odd advantage that both cables can be quick released, I use several sets of them to swap bars back and forth.

Recently on ebay a few sellers have been listing repair/replacement shift mechanisms/pods/shift indicators for these. So currently spare parts are available as well.

it's actually a little odd that they seem to show up so often, pretty sure they only made them for a year or so. Possibly they got shelved as V-brakes became the thing right around the same time.
