Default 9 spd shifter conversion, need help and shifters!

my redline conquest pro has barend shifters, i do not like this at all. id like to be able to shift like everyone else, can i just put 9spd shifters/brake levers on it and roll? when i bought it the guy told me they are on it because you can twist the knob in the middle of the shifter and make it "non indexed" i guess. so can i do this, and do YOU have any 9spd lever/shifters deals around? thanks!

Ryan, here is a good website for comparison pricing: Comparison Pricing Services - Dedicated to the Bicycle Consumer -

However, I think only 10 speed stuff is shown...sorry.

Oh Chucksbikes.com has 9 speed 105 shifters... only thing is they dont come with cables(no biggie) and a box but they are new... Chuck is also local in Orange so you can buy in person, you just have to email him first about showing up...
