Replacing Parts
Anybody got any 105 or RSX shifters for a double 7/8spd set up? Mine are worn out and I need to replace them on the cheap. New bike on the horizon but I wanna keep my old Caad going for a trainer bike/gf's house bike. I've checked Ebay and had limited success.
Also, how difficult is it to rebuild them? Is this something a sort of mechanically inclined DIYer can do? Thanks for any feedback.

Don't have a functional shifter spare, I do have a dead 8 speed, you want it? Rebuilding is pointless as there are no service instructions or spare parts available. It is also a difficult and very fiddly task to assemble and dis-assemble the shifters.

Yeah!!! Can't get any cheaper than FOC plus shipping. Let me know what the cost is to ship and I'll send you a money order or whatever. Thanks.
