Im looking for a 56 cm Road Bike (18 speed or so), im not too picky about components or brand. The only thing that im looking for is lever shifters. Ive checked around on craigslist and ebay and cant find anything that I like all that much. I just want something that is in good condition and can ride a few miles to work everyday.
I have a few boats and other gear that I would do for trade if anyone is interested. I would trade with cash as well.

Cascade with skirt.
Galasport TCQ 58'' Paddle
Let me know what you have.

Re: OT: WTB Road Bike
No decent bike made in the last 20 years has lever shifters. The road bikes have them integrated into the brake levers. Roadbikereview.com has a classified section. I found a bike there 6 or 7 years ago. You could also try a local bike shop. Sometimes they'll have a few used bikes from people who are trading up.

Re: OT: WTB Road Bike
I have a 58 cm road bike with Dura Ace 8-spd components, but the SIS shifters are on the downtube ("old school style"). Personally, I'd rather not sell the bike because it's a legacy from my triathlon days and having the Dura Ace gruppo. 58 cm is a bit of a big road bike also. Just wanted to let you know in case you are interested in that--selling the bike would make my wife happier (she doesn't get the "you can't have enough toys" mindset).
