Yeah, I'm watching the shifters now, but I'd like to see if I could get some gently used ones for cheaper.

Nashbars got some brake levers for $14.95, but again, always looking for the better deal.

Thanks though!

Subject: LOOKING FOR TONS!!! OF STUFF

Still looking for 9 speed bar end shifters. Got the brake levers, and a seatpost.

Instead of making a bunch of listings, I'm going to lay it all out here. I'm a very poor college student, and am trying to get seriously into the circuits back home. I need tons of stuff ($1200 worth + bike maintanence + race fees) so I'm looking for help! I'm not that picky, but I am broke. BUT ANY THING CONSIDERED!!!

Looking for:

An older bike for rainy day training (steel, aluminum, downbar shifters, whatever, just has to be 650 or 700cc and 55-58cm, 1990's and newer?)

Shimano SPD-SL pedals and cleats (not looking for real expensive here)

a new helmet (TT preferably or otherwise)

training tires (700cc, 23's)

a heart rate monitor (doesn't have to be fancy)

a rear cassette (normal shimano 9 speed)

a speedo (30-31" waist)

those bigger swimming goggles (almost like a mask)

size 9 racing shoes/flats (I can wish? Asics?)

Subject: RE: WTB: Bar-end shiftersLitespeed

I am getting ready to sell my used (1994) Litespeed Tachyon bike (Titanium frame!). It has made for a great training bike. And the beauty of Titanium is that it is soft enough to absorb a lot of road noise and stiff enough to transfer you energy efficiently and light enough not to slow you down...not to mention very very durable!

It has the following frame dimensions:
50cm - center of BB to top of top tube,
57cm - center of seat tube to center of head tube,
and 75 cm - ground level to top of top tube (standover height).

-9 speed rear cassette with a double crankset in the front.
-The derailleur components (Front and Back) are Shimano 600 (which is what Ultegra was called before it was called Ultegra).
-It comes with bar end shifters (dura ace 9 speed).
-The bike has never been crashed to my knowledge and shows no crash like scuffs or stresses.
-Comes with Syntace C2 aerobars size: long or large
-Set of 650c training wheels Velocity deep v aero clincher.
-Nice newer tires (Michelin Ironmans maybe...I can check on that)
-Buffalo Composite Design Carbon Seatpost
-Selle Italia Genuine Gel Titanium(rails) Flite saddle
-New dura Ace Brake and Shift cables and housing
-I can send you a set of spd pedals with the bike if you need them.
-Crank Borthers crankset (172.5cm I think)

It is an older bike so it does have a few minor drawbacks...but they are totally upgradable as you decide what you really want. As a matter of good faith, here are the drawbacks as I see them:
-Aluminum Fork, not carbon, not titanium. Little heavier.
-Diacomp brake levers, not designer, not really light but by no means heavy.
-Standard road style drop bars.
-Can't remember brake Caliper brand/model...but I think they are Tektro off a Felt bike...I'll double check if you might be interested.
-Front training wheel has a slight un-true in it. I still feel safe riding on them, but you might want to true them up.
-Front crank has a very slight untrue in it. You can feather the front deraileur so that you don't even notice it...but it is a drawback.

In 1994 this bike sold for well over $3000. Considering the wear on the components and the above listed drawbacks...which I was as honest and upfront with as possible, I am asking for $850 shipped to the continental US. I have a nice bike box in my basement ready to get this thing rolling out to its happy new owner. I am going to post this as a new thread too...but let me know if you are interested. The photo is from last year, I have swapped the bar tape out and redone the cables to clean up the front end a little bit. It will not come with the Zipp rear wheel.
