Yup, Shimano has some nice barcon shifters....that is what I'm running on my Paramount, Liberty. On the Nishiki I fixed up for the daughter, I found this really sweet old set of Shimano downtube shifters, complete with the clamp, so they went right on. I just replaced the upper cablestop clamp with clamp on shifters, then used the original lower guides, worked like a dream!
