Re:
Too bad you're not Hungarian.
ST-5500 and ST-6500 levers are thrown around at 50 EUROS. Not Pounds, Euros..
Nobody wants 9spd stuff these days.
7700 Levers in PERFECT conditions (no scratches, no oxidation) worth around 70 euros here..
The only thing which has insane price is new 10-11spd sh stuff. 9-8 speed is so cheap that most of the guys are opting for those with city commuters (one friend of mine bought a complete 5500 gruppo with FD-RD-STI-s and Brakes and Crankset for 70 euros... oh, bottom bracket included of course..)
