you might even go to your LBS and see if they have any old sets lying around in the back that were pulled off someone's bike.
p.s. what bike is it?
The bike is a Nashbar Hounder. I really like it, and for $206 after shipping i feel that it was a steal.
I will be riding in the drops pretty much all the time so I am a little hesitant to go with just cyclocross levers.
But in reality, it's all down to price. The closer to $0 the better.
I think I am going to ask around and see if anyone has some old levers (or lever for that matter as I use only the front anyways) that they would be willing to give/sell to me.
