P-Will You are getting plenty of help here, but that never stopped me from piling on. My cousin handed me down a Trek 830 that I fixed up for my son. Same issue. I removed the toasted shifter pods, hacksawed and flat filed the vestigial mounting stuff off the brakelevers, and installed 3x7 SRAM grip shifters that my LBS had on the shelf for $30 retail. Worked perfecto.
