yeah, this. I am always looking for parts on Ebay, and I see some ridiculous offers ... $75 for just One Sora brifter, for instance. I guess a lot of people break just one?
Makes me want to buy cheap and resell ...

Dude, your honesty is enlivening.
I also upgrade when I can, because I can ... even if the old stuff works fine (and I know it does because it usually ends up on another bike I own.) I just like "upgrading."
