Great times had at the Island today and the weather was sensational.

For those who know, and I'm not one of them, is $68 with shiping a good price for 9 speed durace barcons, with all cables, housings etc.? And what are the odds of me finding some in town for a better price then that?

Edit: I see, two of them are like that in the picture. What's up with that anyhow?

They are disc wheels.

PS. dan, I found out the reason I couldn't withdraw any cash yesterday. My account was raided for 1,800 dollars while we were riding around. dirty bast*rd crooks... now I have to sort it all out. At least since this is the second time this has happened I know what to expect... They spent 593 dollar at winners and 115 dollars at a cigar store.

I'm not sure, but there's a set on the Canadian Cyclist classifieds for $75 (new in box), so $68 to your door with all the dingdongs sounds good!

You'd be surprised how many floppies are around here. Not in use, thankfully, but still to be found in drawers/cases/etc.

i may have a set in my basement that i'm not using. i think they're actually 8 speed but if you switch them to friction they'll shift anything. and cheaper than $68; tradsies maybe.
