Shimano 105 3x8 STI set -- bad left
I found this set in my stash box. After flushing the right side is popping shifts as crisp as ever, but the left is locked up. I'm not a brifter fan, so if someone else wants to fix the left or needs a right. $45 delivered in US, paypal goods/services.

Great for a budget 1x build. You can get a pretty good range with some of the stuff that's on the market now, i.e. this 8 speed compatible Microshift derailleur any 8 speed 36t cassette. GLWS!

Heck it's still a good 2X build start. Just use that random left downtube shifter you've got laying around.
