  • WTF is going on with the price of that?? I purchased a 105 5800 groupset over 3 years ago for £299. And yes I'm sure, I've just checked my old order on Wiggle... does the price for these really not drop over time as they are not brand new anymore?

  • Agreed. Not suggesting it's not a good/great deal but the expectation about price drop over time (esp with R7000/R8000) is sadly misplaced

  • Shimano and others have been hit by the price of the pound rising plus inflation. It's in some ways cheaper than 3 years ago

  • There was a weird glut around a year after release when shimano sets were really cheap, then they popped up. IIRC 105 went up to ~£500. I got a unused Ultegra set for £300 and Hydro groupset -cranks for £300 also. Was amazing at the time, evven more-so now
