[I saw these the other day and thought “nifty”. I already use these shifters on my Jones with a Paul’s “Thumbies” adapters and really like them. I could easily see where these work cleanly and make a great alternative when they don’t want integrated shifters. It will no doubt depend on why they don’t want integrated shifters, but I like choices, and this makes me think about putting flared drop bars on my Jones, and lacing these guys up. Shimano makes a 10 speed version too.]
