I went ahead and bought them, along with a stem adapter from threaded to threadless for the ShockStop stem. It came to 91EUR but I also had an $83 longstanding credit on Paypal that I applied so the net cost to me was $21. I didn't order through Amazon so I had to pay shipping but all told not a bad deal. The last items I ordered from Germany came in 3 days when they said it would take 3 weeks.
I'm doing the 5 Boro Bike Tour here in NYC in a few weeks. It's a 42 mile ride but it'll be a good test as I'll be riding with slower riders and it'll feel more like 100. But I guess a touring pace is slower anyway so maybe it will be more like what I'll be doing.
