Backcountry has ultegra 10x3 shifters for $140

[madscot13]

are the brakes bad rubber or are they not adjusted properly?

Zen, unless ultegra comes in the new smaller size for DA, I wouldn't go for it. If the shims don't swing it (ha!) then get the short reach shifters. for say $100 more you can get something that fits well. just my personal opinion. don't go throwing money around just because it is on sale, which doesn't make it cheap BTdubs

I couldn't get my hands around anything but R700s either, but where can you find them for $250??? When I had to replace mine this spring, it cost me $400.

I can't even consider buying those right now. I was just being hypothetical.
