But that is not a problem because then you only need to source a shifter. On the whole a trigger shifter will be easier to find, and probably cheaper than a grip shifter. But then it will be different to your other shifter and you will also need to buy a new grip to go with it.

I still think an old style friction thumb shifter will be the best option if he is not to familiar with bike repairs... no requirement to get the cable tension and h and l screws absolutely perfect. Also I rekon most bike shops will have some friction shifters lieing around in some rubbish bins that they will let him have for next to nothing.
