are you referring to that horrid white-spoke spinergy as a "some expensive parts"?.. wouldn't take it if they paid me
Just cause its horrid doesnt mean its cheap;

I've used 9 speed friction bar ends for ages with no hassle at all, I'd try on my 10 speed as well if bar end changers weren't so expensive!
Have you seen the Diacompe ones?
£50 for a pair (no doubt you'll find them cheaper on the bay) and they are probably the nicest looking and some of the best made bar end changers out there, indexed mode isn't an option on them though (yay!)
Also any Shimano bar end shifters have friction mode, I recently picked some up pretty cheaply on ebay, they usually go for around £30


They go for thousands on ebay nowadays if they are good condition.
