Pre-assembled front brake kit

Where can I pick one up online? Spent awhile looking, to no avail.

edit* not so much pre-assembled, just with all components in-box.

Yeah. I'm leaving for vacation, and wanted to order all the **** for my girl's bike to be here when I return.

Guess I'll just piece it together, but is it really that absurd of an idea? I figured I could buy a cheap kit somewhere and save a few bucks.

some older brake setups like modolo, suntour, &c came boxed up with levers, hoods, calipers, and cables. unless you're buying NOS i'm not sure you'd be able to find that.

Ended up having to order from 3 separate places to save some $$$.

Nashbar Brake
Jenson cable/housing
Soma Lever

Not too bad though. And I got myself some sharp EAI gloves.

Total of around $65, after Nashbar coupons I found online and Jenson clearance price. Could I have saved a few bucks just going to Performance on my way to school tomorrow? I dunno.
