You can find them on eBay readily. I was looking at these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7155139508&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
Just to give you an idea. I blew my bike allowance this month though, and didn't go for them. Right now I use regular old Dia Compe "aero" levers flipped around on my bullhorns. A little funky at first having to pull the levers mostly with my pinky and ring finger, but I have gotten used to it.

Your freinds or relatives may have these things!
Don't you see. Don't you see what I'm saying.
Bike stores too.

Chucksbikes.com has the Tektro RX 4.1 levers (with the return spring) for 15$ for a pair (same price as that ebay auction, and slightly nicer levers). Unfortunately it is a pain linking to things on that site, so go to http://www.chucksbikes.com, click on Online Store, then click on Brakes on the left side.
