Hello again, 

I have a set of Silver/IRD thumbies with some cosmetic character for sale. The bolts on the bottom are oxidized on the outside and one of the black tabs has been replaced with Newbaums. They are mechanically perfect. Originally, they come with two sets of washers--one with a stopper tab and one without. These just have one of each style of washer, which should still give you all the range you need. I really liked the feel and look of these shifters, but I going to give try indexed shifting.

See the pictures for more details: https://photos.app.goo.gl/PEfKnI4Hp6BD3wCh1 

$45 shipped for the thumb shifters. 

I also have a set of Silver bar-end pods that I could throw in for an additional $20. All the original bits are still there. They have a touch of shellac on the edges, but otherwise they're basically new. Separately, I'd sell them for $25 shipped. 

$65 shipped for shifters and bar-end pods.

Sorry for the repeat post, but I thought this might be a more effective route. 

Thanks!

Do the bar-end pods work with the ird shifters? I already have the ird shifters on a choco bar, and was considering switching to a albastache bar with bar end shifters.

Hey, Jon-

Yeah, the bar-end pods will work with IRD shifters. 

Cheers,
Tim

Not only do the stubby IRD shifters work on the bar-end pods, they are ideal on the bar-end pods.  Regular Silver downtube shifters on bar end pods work fine but they really are long.  The stubby IRD variant is closer to the length of Shimano and Suntour bar-end shifters.  They are great.  

In fact, it's a great pro-tip to buy a set of IRD thumbies purely for the purpose of using the thumbie base with a nice downtube shifter, and then use the stubby shifter as a great barcon shifter.
