Shimano 105 shifters (2x10)

[kiriyama]

I can get a set of 105 shifters from wiggle for about £100 which is reasonable... iv been looking on ebay and can find secondhand sets going for around £50

I'm trying to build this bike on a budget so second hand would be sensible. But the ones I'm finding on ebay are of varying quality and I don't want to waste money on the risk of getting a duff pair(when I'm happy enough to buy new ones). So I thought I'd see if anyone here has a spare decent pair..

A Tiagra set would be an option if it was a huge bargain. But I much prefer my cables to be routed under the bar tape...

I use tiagra and the brake cables do go under the bar tape I have just purchased another set of eBay nearly new for less than £30 quid I find tiagra levers are just as good as 105 but the front and rear mech are nowhere near as good as the 105

Don't forget there have been issues reported by some with 105 levers

IIRC the right one starts acting up, so buy with caution if you don't know the seller

I think that was the older type with external cabling, the type I had
