First of, it works well. Pure functionality the only complaint is that the rear shifter is index only with no option to go friction. As far as I can tell, it won't fit post mounts, so you have to use the supplied clamp. Subjectively, the look is out of place for a vintage steel road bike and the rear shifter has that huge barrel off to the side it. However I like the click of the rear shifter, but I don't care for the feel of the left's friction. I doubt also that one can buy a handle bar mount to put those on bar ends. The Sunrace 7 speed shifter I feel is a better buy due to the classic look and the option to mount them on downtubes with built in post (possibly on bar end pods) as well as the friction feel on the front shifter.

I gave these shifters 3 stars to be fair. If I knew everything there was to know about them, they would get a two. These things feel very cheap and once mounted, they work even more cheaply. The nut on the friction side comes loose so easily even when tightened as much as possible. I can't really tell what the deal is with the index side, but these things just aren't worth even 10 bucks. I would put another 10 to 20 in and get some older metal ones of way better quality. One thing that this website does not make clear is that these do not come with a screw so had I not had one laying around I would have been pretty upset. The customer service is real good. Seem to be nice people and I am sure the returns go without a hassle. I just kept them for the mount. These things look a HECK of a lot better than they perform. Just like everything els, you get what you pay for and I paid almost 20 bucks for a mount.
