He asked about grip shifters, but he said it would be REALLY expensive. I just didn't want to put even more money into the bike that I don't know would work.
I did try the Tiagra shifters. They seemed to work. Mind you, they were on a different bike.

Looks like SRAM is the only one who makes 10-speed grip shifters, and they are about $90 more than the shifters you're looking at, plus there would be a little bit more labor ... but wouldn't that be worth it for shifters that you don't have to worry about reaching? SRAM shifters are compatible with Shimano derailleurs AFAIK, my hybrid has 8-speed SRAM grip shifters and Shimano derailleurs.

He just called and said the bike was done. Unfortunately we won't be able to pick it up until Thursday. I will let you know how I come out.
The shifters, if they are easy to use, work better for me. I broke my hand two years ago
in three places and twisting a handle bar is harder than trigger shifters. I love the way I can shift of my Ruby. That's was what I was hoping for.
