SOLD - Sora 8 x 3 STIs with black Giant bars, tape & cab

[Dead Rats]

For sale I have a complete modern factory spec control set-up for sale in lovely condition which were fitted to a mint 2009 Giant SCR3 (24 speed, 54cm compact) which I'm converting to flat bar set-up for my Dad, comprising:

- pair Sora 8 x 3 STIs (mint apart from small marks from up-ending bike by previous owner mending a puncture!)
- black Giant A3 modern ergo drop bars (26.0mm clamp x 41.5cm c-c of ends)
- Jagwire brake cables (inner & outers in perfect condition)
- black bar tape and bar end plugs (also near mint condition)
- your choice of two 26.0mm stems here to match the bars, the OEM Giant one and a short Cinelli. I can throw in either stem for free as I don't need that size having fitted 25.4mm bars & stem to the bike these bars & STIs came off.

The set up is ideal for any modern 24 speed tourer / road / 'cross bike - or a toe in the water for some kind of MTB with drops if said MTB has 24 speeds and cantis?

I'm looking for £60 for the lot (which should almost cover the cost of the flat bars & stem, brake/gear levers, grips and end plugs I need to replace them!) or £50 for just the STIs.

Prices include postage in UK only

I might be interested... except that I should think the chances of them successfully indexing with a 7 speed hub with 8 9speed cogs on are minimal?! If that makes any sort of sense!

Hey Rob,
they would work with standard 7 or 8 speed cassettes (same spacing I think) but I'm not sure about your set-up... someone like Fluffy Chicken would know!?

 

[djoptix]

Yes, that probably answers the question - if they are for standard 7 speed spacing then they won't work on 8 cogs squashed into that space. Hey ho...

so what shifter would work for you? 9 speed?

 

[djoptix]

Yes, it would need to be a 9 speed index, or anything friction with a bit of adjustment room at the top end. Really I should go for bar-end shifters, that's plan A - since I already have some modern drops and nice Shimano drop levers.

It's for my new bike, very excited about this... picking it up on Thursday!

I've just sourced some of these, the Ebay price for these has been more than double in the past weeks.

Been asked if I have the OE 26.0mm stem, I do and I also have a Cinelli short 26.0mm stem available!

Might I suggest Dura Ace 9 speed downtube shifters? You don't see them that often but they do go cheaply on Ebay when they appear. I've just fitted a pair to my Bill Nickson and they shift beautifully.

bump - nobody needing some 8x3 STIs then?
