Emily, I'm going to give it a shot next time I'm in a bike shop. I don't want to dismiss it out of hand, but reading the descriptions of how the shifting works makes me think it won't work too well for me. But then, I said the same thing about what's currently on my bike and I figured them out.
Also, anything I get will be an adjustment because my bike has those silly thumb triggers that Shimano puts on Sora/no name shifters. I like the idea, but I can't shift from the drops, which is really irritating.

My bike is also a mish-mash: SRAM chain and cassette, FSA cranks and bottom bracket (which was replaced by a Shimano one after the stock one died after 600 miles ), Sora rear derailleur and generic Shimano everything else. I guess it meets that price point, but...
