    The left shifter? For the front derailleur?

    How soon do you need it?

    I have an old set of R700s that the right one broke. I was going to rebuild it myself but never got around to it. The left (front) shifter is perfectly fine, but I could only replace them as a set. The catch is, it's in another state and it'll probably be the fall before I can get it.

    If you're considering not doing the upgrade until the fall ... if you could wait until the fall for a new shifter ... I could make you a smokin' deal.

    Yes, the one for the front derailleur.

    Currently I'm not in the states yet. Will be in the fall. However, I'm still debating whether I should go for a new whole groupset or not. Maybe you can try to convince me.

    Somewhere in a box in our basement we've got the opposite (I think...) a rear shifter that's fine, that was the mate to a front that went bad. One tip though - I have an old set of Ultegras on my rain bike. The front one was getting totally floppy - it was loose and didn't always shift - just flopped around sometimes. The shop told me it was not serviceable and eventually would break permanently, but they squirted some lube inside and its worked fine ever since.... (and that was about 2 years ago!)
