You can find them by searching for DiaComp Blaze Stoker Peg

You might check with your LBS. Mine had a set in stock for $20. I bought them but can't use them because they hit me in the back of the legs. My wife really loved the drop bars though, even without them.

Hey dfcas - I have a set that I cannot use. E-mail me and we can work out a deal. Brand new Dia-Copme "dummy" levers. I went straight bar for my wife on the last build, so these have been sitting for a few years inthe bag still.

you can also check ebay for a set of broken shifters you should be able to find some sora or older ultrega.

take them to a ban saw if you want to cut some weight.

I was going to do that untill she opted for the bull bars.
