My only question is how long term is this bike. Chances are you’ll have many more years of shifting, but 10 speed road flat bar shifters are not that common. And Tiagra 4700 10 speed shifters are not compatible.

If you are going to keep this bike and really like your 105’s, you might want to keep an eye out, at least for a rear (right) shifter if one pops up.

Not trying to raise an alarm, and it could be a waste of money, of course there will probably be someone who’ll want them; just a thought.
