If you have V-brakes, then you'll want levers designed for them.

The SL-M315-7R (for the right) and SL-M315-L (for the left) are likely your best choices if you want trigger style shifters. You can also find indexed thumb shifters and twist/grip shifters from various brands as well.
Thanks, yes they've got linear pull brakes. If I remember correctly they are a replacement so maybe not 'V' from Shimano but linear pull nonetheless.

There is a co-op in town and will check there.
