So, do they come with the cables and everything? Are they easy to install? (I am somewhat good mechanically, but I've never done this before and just got into cycling)
Thanks.

i am NOT mechanically inclined. The shifters are still mounted onto the aerobars. If there is a way to salvage the cables and housing etc. when i take them off then yes ill incude them. Ill run it by my mechanic tomorrow and ill get back to you...

I need 9 speed, but apparently I can use 8 speed and run it in friction mode?

Yes you can - possibly even indexed per many writeups including this one:

However, the throw on the 8 speed should be more than sufficient for an 9, might even work 10.

Alas - 25-30 shipped for the ones I have for sale.

Okay guys, it looks like I found some. Now, if I can figure out which cables to buy and how to install everything. This should be fun...
