WTB: Drop Bar/Stem/Brake/Shifter set up

[Damien]

Hey all,

As the title suggests, I'm looking to see if anyone has a drop bar, stem, shifter, and brake lever set up they are looking to rid themselves of. Let me know what you have! I'm looking to switch from my current Albatross set up on the ol' Sam.

Thanks all!

I've got a 15cm stem and some noodles with a stem mounted shifter and reverse brakes you could put on the noodles. Sound perfect? Are you within bicycle delivery of Brooklyn? 

Or let us know which kind of what you'd like or if you're entertaining suggestions. To start, I'd suggest not putting the reverse levers on the noodles because that would be bananas, especially with that ultra long 15cm stem. 

What stem are you using with the Albatross? You wanna stretch waaay out with drops?, or are you picturing a 0-5cm stem getting those drops up close? I've got a fiver around somewhere that I used to think was short, but it's enormous compared to zeros.

Regardless, happy new year to all!

Are you looking for this fully built/taped?

Bar-mounted shifters, so either bar-end or stem shifters?

Friction/indexed shifting?

Stem length/height?

Bar width/bend?

Brake levers aero/non-aero?

And a +1 to Kainalu, Happy Year to everybody!

Thanks for the feedback both o' y'all. Guess it makes sense to be a bit more specific than just drops/stem/levers/shifters.

So, ideally....

Stem length - 70-80mm

Bar width - 44 to 48 cm

Bar end shifters would be preferable. Index would be great, but am certainly open to friction

Aero brake levers

Fully wrapped is cool, but certainly not necessary.

Anyways, preferences above, but please feel free to let me know what you have, since I'm open to other set ups.

Awesome, that narrows down how many piles I have to root through!

If indexed, how many speeds would you be indexing?

Does the stem need to be Technomic-ish high-rise?

Hoping for fully wrapped with bar-cons and aero levers is pretty tricky, since how long do the cables/housing need to be? Too long can be cut shorter, but too long means maybe new cables/casing and a rewrap.

And where would one be shipping to? Since once we're talking drop bars, box can't be very small.

Thanks Melanie! Will DM so we can chat off thread. Bars are a bit narrower than I was hoping but everything else looks great.
