I got some from Decathalon for less than £20. They weren't too bad either - but had the absolute minimum in adjustable features!

just look around on the various websites. it's best to pay a bit more and get the lighter ones as the heavy cheaper ones add too much weight to the front of your bike and completely change the handling and general balance of the bike.

Not in any way cheap I'm afraid, but probably one of the best, lightest, and most adjustable clip-ons around -
