    Upgrading gear/brake levers with new Shimano compatible. Weight is not an issue and left lever must be a triple.

    CRC offer
    Shimano 105 5600's @ €168
    Shimano 105 5603's @ €213 and
    Shimano 105 5703's @ €179

    Any suggestions re which is the best or is there better?

    I can recommend the Ultegra 66030 set and I found a good deal when I went to look up a replacement for a broken shifter. I was checking CRC, Wiggle, Evans and the rest when I came across a shop in Germany through E-Bay - look up http://stores.shop.ebay.de/Price-Attack__W0QQ_armrsZ1

    I thought the prices were good, though I can't say more than that yet as they are still on the way (ordered on Wednesday). The pair were €169.9 plus €12.50 postage which compares very well with the others.

    When I built up my bike with Ultegra I bought all the parts at the cheapest I could find them. Lowest price I sourced for levers was Bike24 for Ultegra 6603 3x10 levers. €139+€10 shipping. Sorry Cadex.;)

    Tks again Cadex.

    Following your link I bought these.

    The seller can be a bit slow to respond at times but that may be because the German/English translator on Google is obviously a work in progress.

    Cost for shipping was €17

    On reflection my last post could have been phrased better. It wasn't meant to be a smug. It was simply intended to make others aware of the price.

    I trust this is just a nomme de plume and not your job title

    Yes I received them this week.

    I did have a problem placing the order - apparently I did not select the correct postage and this drew forth some curt (possibly language barrier) exchanges with a cyber salesperson.

    Once this was sorted the whole tranaction was completed very quickly

    Not job related, just a handle for Boards.:D

    I've had issue's myself with a German seller and the language barrier was indeed a pain in the ass.
