My take on this statement is the the shifter has to somewhere "between" the two handgips. Using my interpretation the shifter does not have to be mounted on the grips it can be frame mounted somewhere between the crank arms. I am trying to eliminate all cables from both hand grips since I ride mostly open roads but I want to still be within the guidlines so I can compete at santioned events.
Yes, the shifter can be mounted on the frame or fork within reach. Some people have their chainring and derailleur shifters mounted on the front fork within finger reach when the crank arms are forward.
