Terrible pics. I almost bought it because of the shifter. Didn’t want to have to line through Bruce and pencil in his/her new name!

Is Bruce Jenner even still "hanging " around these days any more? Looks like his shifter is ready to go on that bikes second picture

Buy it, chop the top tube of and re-weld it lower, make some Caitlyn stickers.....

Real find in a barn. I left it. Almost bought it just because I had never seen a shifter like that on a 10 speed

The shifter is an AMF patented system built by Shimano, exclusively for AMF.

Thanks so much for this identification @BradL!

When bike first posted I had tried looking for the shifter in vintage Yoshi catalogues to no avail. No wonder!

Greatly appreciated.
