Grant appears to be using their Mountain RD which is 8/9, which Nashbar stocks too. Nashbar also sells a Microshift 10 speed road group with an RD per their site
"The Nashbar 10 speed short cage rear derailleur has a total teeth capacity of 29T and a max rear sprocket size of 27T. 2:1 pull ratio is compatible with Shimano 10 speed components" Since friction doesn't really care a 10 speed RD would work fine if you didn't mind being restricted to 27 or 28 teeth on your Cassette/ FW. At $35, or $28 after their 20% off coupon, not a bad deal. I am mostly excited about the prospect of A) another option for bar end shifters and B) that it is possible to use a right (front) shifter on the Left (rear) in friction mode! never thought of that but its good to know.
