They're not common, but I think I remember there being a few road bikes equipped with grip shifters at the ends of the bar. Early '90s, maybe? And they've been used on tri bikes' aero bars, too.
As for the bike that started this thread, though, we could certainly use more info. Number of cogs front and rear would be handy to know. Even something as simple as brand, model, and rough age would help us give more educated guesses.
