Description:
A quintessential set of vintage French friction downtube shifters from Huret, representing classic 1970s and 1980s touring and racing componentry. Known for their silky-smooth lever tension adjustment and organic shifting feel, these shifters allow precise derailleur trim across 5, 6, or 7-speed freewheel setups. Constructed with polished chrome accents and high-durability internal friction washers, they are perfect for period-correct French restorations such as Peugeot, Gitane, or Mercer builds.
