Shifters are a big reason for road bike prices being so high.

Nashbar's 2008 model 10 speed shifters are now on sale for $120. They have dual paddles instead of using the brake lever as a shifter.

Anyone tried them? What did you think?

I find it interesting that on Ebay Ultegra 9 speed shifters often sell for more than Ultegra 10 speed.
