Those shifters are for flat bars, like a ATB. You canb use them, I suspose, but you'll also need a frame mounted cable stop and some SIS cable housing. You might be better off with these levers:

The rest of the gear will all work together. The only thing you might have trouble with is getting the old freewheel off. If you don't have a freewheel tool that fits you can either have your LBS remove it for a few bucks or do this:

scroll down to destructive removal.
When you have everything hooked up go to:

and follow the instructions for RD and shifter installation and adjustment.
