Looking for Shifter recommendation

[GeorgeET]

Thanks for the reply. Ye the 200GS which was the lower end in early 90's lasted a long time. I got a set of Alivo STX SL MC40. I checked them out and they look well made. Its also an older set up so it should be better made than current stuff. The bike shop gave me a great installation price so I bought from them rather than online and am having them do it. So for $60 I will have new shifters. Not bad after 18 years. I always try to buy locally first.

According to Sheldons Brown Shimano page the Alivo is equal to the 400 series so its supposed to be above the 200. ( 200GS=Altus, 400GS= Alivo, 500gs=STX). Every mechanic that looks at my bike says they do not make them like they used to. Very solid Schwinn High Sierra, Durable Aluminum frame Paramount design. Made in USA!
