Replacements for SL-R780 Shifters

Hi

My Boardman Hybrid Pro came with these shifters and the front mech one is broken, possibly by pulling against the limiter.

I kept having issues with the chainring over-shifting when I was in the smallest two sprockets (fine in the other sprockets) so I gradually tightened the H-Limit screw on the front-mech to prevent this which was working beautifully except now a piece inside the shifter has snapped.

It would appear that these shifters are not so common, especially in black.

Could anyone suggest alternative flat-bar shifters that'll work with 105 series road mechs?

Thanks

    An update for completeness in case someone else has a similar query in future:

    I've replaced the R780 shifters with a set of Shimano RS700 which are 11-speed. £99.99 for the pair from Evancycles.
