I'm hung up on the same quandary my self ! Just about to mount a set of Jagwire barcon mounts to a Mercian: http://www.jagwireusa.com/index.php/products/road/477
Think I'll transplant the shifters from a set of 9sp Shiman DA rather than use a set of DT 7sp shifters in friction mode. Better for go-fast group rides me think. Just for the record; I've found that barend shifters reduce the likelihood of developing numb and tingling hand and fingers due to to static positioning, that is often caused from using Ergopower/STI shifters on longer breve's.
