Do a search on Ebay under "deore" in the sporting goods section and you may get a nice surprise. In the last few months a shop in Holland(?) has been selling deore mechanical systems complete from lever to caliper with the matching deore disk hubs at a very reasonable price. Its not cutting edge stuff but is an option for the first disk setup. Speaking of which I can only recommend them. My disks are pretty much bottom range stuff, tektro mechs and they are still a huge improvement over any V I've ridden including a mates older XTR setup. More stopping power and a leap forward in control.
