  • 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?

  • 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

    Jeeeesus. Well. Turns out my 'old' (but not much used) 105 groupset might still be worth something now after all. I haven't really been following the price of groupsets in the last two years or so as I can only have one bike in use at the moment and it happens to be fixed... so I assumed an old 105 groupset would not even really register anymore.

    @M_V

    Well I'm very much hoping it won't come to a collapse, but I'm struggling to see the value soar over the next few years.

    Mid-June 2015 actually, but yeah, close enough :)
