They only make 400 size lefties in the higher end TE series---none in the B series.

OOooohhhhhh, you got the TE

I got a sweet deal on one a while ago. If you keep it sand free it's about as close to perfect as you can get.

Of course mine, which really has never been abused is broken waiting to be shipped back to Shimano
