I bought a set of Kelly Take-Offs that are made for downtube shifters. Which new set of shifters should I go with thay will work with a triple front and 9 spd rear cassette? Preferably not an oldschool looking set, something new, sleek.

Thanks!

There is only two choices, 9spd barend levers or 9spd downtube levers.

Looks like I found my shifters. Won a pair of Dura Ace 9 speed downtube shifters on ebay for 57 shipped.

Harris cyclery has them for 65 plus shipping in case anyone is looking.
