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?

You're asking a guy who thinks stem shifters, cantilever brakes & v-brakes, are the work of the devil about STI shifters? OK - someone here might know enough to give you an intelligent answer, but I would think a better place would be the "mechanics" or the "road" boards.
