Nope - thrift shop. I brought it in from the collection yard, asked the nice lady how much, and she said $10.00. I inspected it a bit closer (I was in a hurry when I picked it up), and it has some issues. The front wheel is out of true (possibly bent), and both STI shifters shift up but do not shift down.

I have spare wheels all over the yard so that won't be a problem, but I've never dealt with these type of shifters before. Are they fixable units or are they junk? If they are toast, are they expensive to replace? Does anyone have a cheap set I can they'e willing to part with?
