I ride a Fuji "Touring" for my commuter bike and it came new with bar end shifters. I was a bit worried at first, but the worries were baseless. Now, I really like the bar end shifters. My only other bike has Shimano 105 brifters that work great, but because I'm riding my commuter bike at least five days a week, and the road bike maybe only once or twice a week, my poor brain has trained itself to make my hands look for the shifter on the ends of the bars, no matter which bike I'm on. Oh, I can't remember how many times I've reached down to the ends of the bars on the road bike to shift gears when the brifters were right there... Yea, a little short moment of panic when I reach for the ends of the bars and there's nothing there, except for the ends of the bars.
