Default looking for SRAM X 7 front shifter

"CAUTION noob thread"
hey guys i need help on my reign 2 i fell off the bike and broke off the front shifter

i went to "two wheels one planet" where i originally bought the bike and they said its going to be about $75 because i need to order a pair.

i did some research and i can get that part brand new for about $39 plus $10 shipping

http://cgi.ebay.com/SRAM-X7-X-7-MOUN...QQcmdZViewItem

anyone can get it cheaper? or its better to just upgrade?

I just sold a used set of X7 shifters last week for $30.

If you are buying a shifter, might as well buy a pair of X9 shifters.

sounds like a good time to switch to a grip shift for the front

would X9 shifters work with X7 DERAILLEUR?

Goto "The Path", in Tustin.
They have a wall of pieces like individual shifters of all kinds.

I'm pretty sure you will get exactly what you need for WAY less than $50.
