I need a tidy pair of brake levers (or would consider a pair of 8 speed STIs for the right price) to get my girlfriends bike back on the road. I don't have a massive amount to spend, and will need to ask you to post, but I suppose anything upto about £20 for something half-decent, as I can get a basic pair, brand new for £17.99 inc postage on chainreaction.

I'm also after a short cage rear mech, to work with an 8 speed setup. Something in good nick but not too flashy would be ideal (sora etc would do the job nicely). Again, I don't have a massive budget, but I'm not after anything fancy.

Thanks for looking,
Sam

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
