I got mine at Velo Orange, they were "on sale" for $19. For me, they are well worth the price. My hands were hurting on long rides (30+ miles) with this bike, just adding another hand position (like hoods on a geared road bike) increases the rideability significantly.

Upgraded the tires on my new Wabi Lightning to Conti GP 4000s with ultralite tubes. The toolbag with spare tube, CO2 inflator with 2 cartridges, PDW combo 15mm wrench / tire lever and double plastic tire irons with glueless patches, plus half full large water bottle adds 2 lbs to bring it up to 17.2 lbs.

Conversions
My two recent conversions. Finished the Croll about a month ago (and already posted a pic a while back):
And just finished the LeMond this week:
I'm having a lot of fun breaking 'em in.

Thanks! I'll definitely consider that. The reason why I chose this one is because it served me well on my wabi and Richard sold me another for cheap. If I can find a shimano 600 one for a good deal, I'll probably switch out.
@ xkillemallx16 Yes, Chauncey is great! IMO his service and workmanship is second to none.
