Urgh, you're also going to run into shift ratio issues if you're not careful. I can't comment on the mtb rear mechs, but I have the 10-speed indexed Dura Ace downtube shifters with a 105 5700 rear mech. Both of those have the old shift ratio for 10-speed. It works brilliantly but the gear index clicks are very close together. Just my opinion, but I think you would get a lot of over-shifts and clicking in friction mode.
