Which model STI lever?

I interested in purchasing a Mirrycle Road Mirror and I'm sure it will fit (since my Specialized Roubaix Expert Double is from 2006). But it got me wondering....how do I tell WHICH model of Shimano Ultegra 10-speed STI lever I'm using? I've tried internet searches, but so far no luck.

According to the Shimano website, my choices are ST-6510, ST-6600, ST-6603, ST-R700, ST-R701, ST-6700, or ST-6703.

I'mm assuming you have 10 Speed Ultegra on your bike (that is what Bikepedia shows). That would mean you have the 6600 series as 6500 was 9 speed and 6700 didn't come out till later.

Thanks CACycling. Yes, it's a 10-speed (I was in the act of adding that fact to my post when you chimed in).

CaCycling....

I was able to confirm your opinion. With the help of the Mirrycle installation instructions, I was able to find where Shimano hides the STI lever model number (hint, it's under the lever hood, where the outside edge of the lever meets the handebars).
