    I've a pair of these that I'll be getting rid of soon but don't have all the new parts yet for the new setup. Depends when you need them really - if you could wait till after Christmas I can give them to you v cheap.

    They're pretty old and not in great condition (usual scrapes on the name plates) but they work fine.

    Do you need both or just the left shifter? What are you converting from - a double - maybe we could do a swap?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I need both shifters - I am converting from a flat bar hybrid to drop bar and want to minimise the cost/work so trying to keep it triple.

    I'd be really interested in yours if I haven't done anything by January on it - what kind of price would you be selling for?

    I'm still looking to get my hands on these if anyone has any that they may be selling?

    Thanks

    I'm just waiting to get my bike back from the LBS after upgrading from 2200 to Tiagra shifters. Obviously 2200 is lower than Sora but if you're interested in those shifters let me know. They're less than 1 month old and with the snow/ice in the last month are basically brand new - I got a bad case of upgraditis on CRC over X-mas !! Also will have a Sora rear derailleur, 8 speed cassette and chain to get rid of too.

    Russman, I'm meeting a guy tonight that said he has some older sora shifters for sale so I'm gonna see what condition they are in and take it from there.

    How much would you be selling the shifters for if the deal tonight doesn't go ahead?

    Thanks for getting back Russman - I bought the shifters off the guy I met the other night and think they're perfect for the job. Thanks anyway.
