Etap + spyres?
Unfortunately it meant to be a bike for life™. #theoldjokes etc.
@andyp - cheers. So I'm now 100% sold on hydro.
It's just the di2 vs cables to decide. I should probably do a price comparison to see what the actual extra cost is. The plus with cables is I've set them up before and they are a known. However, di2 is a bit more bling.
@hippy - good point, I don't actually know what type of mounts the frame has.
I've had a bit of a look at 2nd hand stuff, but there doesn't seem to be a huge amount in it at the moment. Lots of external batteries, which reduces the savings once you budget internal batteries.
Incidentally if anyone has a setup they're looking to shift let me know.

So disc groupsets...
Talk to me.
I am looking for a disc groupset for my new 'nice' bike. Essentially it's going to be my only road bike, and probably my only major bike purchase for a long time.
That said money is a definite consideration at the moment so I don't want to needlessly spunk money. Especially as I'll need new wheels too.
First decision is cable or di2. If I go di2 then I guess theres only one answer; 6870 Ultegra + R785 shifters, right?
9070 seems to be £1,500 + R785 shifters + RD mod to long cage sounds like £££s for not much gain.
Then it's cable vs hyrdo. I'm pretty much sold on hydro if I'm going to disc. In which case its R685 shifters plus whatever group I want from DA to Tiagra(?). If I go cable then it's 105, right?
Is that a pretty good summation, or is there any thing I'm missing?
Any hints and tips appreciated. Cheers.
