as for the shift levers, sounds to me like you'll have to buy some new ones. i assume that MEC would be the cheapest local place. but if you live near a bike shop pop in and see if they have some in the junk drawer. Otherwise, I guess the net would be the cheapest - I'd try something like bike nashbar or colorado cyclist (i have never purchased from either, but i beleive they are large reputable places)

Thanks. I made a trip to Bowcycle last night and picked up a set of brake levers for $25 and it worked out well. They don't butt up against the grip shifters very well though unfortunately, but anyway such is life. I did realize what poor shape my arms are in after having to take the grips off and put them back on. What a chore. Wish they made the clamps for brake levers so you could remove them with having to take grips and shifters off. I assume its a safety thing though so a loose brake lever doesn't just fly off on you.
