I was thinking about converting another bike to brifters yesterday, and was flicking through eBay for second hand Tiagra or Sora brifters at a sensible price.

Not much about, but there are a few UK sellers offering brand new Microshift R7, R8 and R9 sets at seriously cheap prices - less than £30 including postage from one seller.

I'm very tempted, but is this too good to be true? The items are UK stock, although the generic listings point towards the sellers being drop shippers. Has anyone used, or are using Microshift brifters and can give any idea of how well they work in comparison to Sora or Tiagra equivalents?

For an idea of how cheap these are, I bought a second hand Tiagra set a few months ago in rough looking but working condition for just under £50.

Thanks, as always, for any feedback.

EDIT - anyone know how to change the title? Just noticed what the auto correct has done to the title. And it's an Android device, not Windows!
