I do think the downtube shifters, now that you mention it, look odd with upright bars.
I like thumbshifters- moreso than most other shifters.

I'm still playing around with the idea of using my stem shifter collar with some ratcheted shifters- the only ones that I've found to fit that collar mount are the ratcheted Sprint shifters. If the "Silver" DiaCompe shifters are really a direct copy of them- those'll work.
