Microshift R9 Drop Bar Brake/Shift Levers (Black/Silver) (Pair) (3 x 9 Speed)
They don't shift as easy as Shimano 105 or Ultegra, but the price is right. If you don't mind pushing harder on the shifter lever, it works very well. the shifters have a different fell to them and shift in a different way. You will need to learn how to shift them. I was looking for a 105 or Ultegra shifters, but the price was to high for an old bike that I built for doing hills. Personally, I like the 105's the best. Very nice shifting.

Microshift R9 Drop Bar Brake/Shift Levers (Black/Silver) (Pair) (3 x 9 Speed)
Levers work well with Shimano 3x9. Used them to convert an old MTB to drop bars. The levers are a bit short (I can just fit 2 fingers around the bottom) and not quite as comfortable ergonomically as current-gen Shimano levers, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that these levers come with cables and housings so I didn't have to buy them separately. Worth the price since even used Shimano 3x9 Tiagra and Sora stuff is going for this much money now.
