tl;dr version: Anyone happen to know if the Rene Herse Randonneur bars are compatible with bar-end shifters? 

All groundless conjecture points to "Yes," but it doesn't say anything about it on the Rene Herse website and they seem to have made every effort to prevent people from emailing them such questions, complete with FAQ page, very specific forms related to shipping errors and such, no email address, and no info on the "technical" page. So I goes to the innerwebs to try to find photos of the bars with bar-end shifters happily mounted but no luck there. 

Any help is appreciated.

Yes, compatible - at least with my 25.4 clamp set of RH Randos -
Shimano 10sp barends fit as would be expected.

I seem to recall the ends are internally milled down, as is typical of
Nitto-made bars.

Same thing's true of the RH Parallels, which fit Suntours (and so, presumably, Shimano/SRAM/Campy).

Yes they fit. Mine here with Shimano 9-spd.

I have RH Maes Parallels with Shimano 10 spd bar end shifters on my JP Weigle.  They work perfectly.  The brake levers that work the best on those bars are gutted Campagnolo Ergo brifters.
