Regarding SRAM, I notice you can get a full Planet X RT-57 with Force 22 for £999 (http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FBPXRT57FORCE22/planet-x-rt-57-sram-force-22-road-bike)
The RRP of that group is over a grand, although Merlin have it discounted to just over £500, but out of stock.
You should be able to strip it and shift the remaining parts for...£300-400(?) I reckon, meaning you get a brand new Force 22 groupset for £600 if you're clever.

Has anyone got a view on when would be a good time to buy a new sram groupset (mechanical)? I assume there might be some good deals available after christmas? It's for my summer bike so I can bide my time for a few months at the least.
Currently I'm thinking rival or force 22, and I wouldn't be against getting an old 10-speed group for the right price. Sram is on the agenda because I like the hood shape.
