Yeah, shipping something that cheap really doesn't make sense like you said. There is a local shop about 10 minutes from me that has a garage full of good used bits. They always let me rummage through it by myself, usually I get some pretty ok stuff for around $5.00. The same shop also gave me a Campy Record crank set for free! I'm going to stop by and look for some north road type bars and some old brake levers. I wish I had bike junk yards close by, but we don't have the bicycle community here to support it. I will be posting more pictures as I make progress.
