Wanted: Cheap groupset...

Posted on
  • JB passed black Dave on to me and I'm looking to build him up fairly cheaply for now:

    So I'd like to try and source a reasonably priced full groupset. I'm ideally looking for a SRAM group but I'll consider anything if the price is right.

    If anyone has anything for sale (or recommendations) please PM.

    Cheers,
    Dom

  • I've got a most of a rival groupset, bought it in bits and pieces from here for a project which looks like it isn't happening. It would need a chain and a cassette to complete. It owes me 300.

  • Dom, that would look so good with 8/9 speed* Campag......they can be had for 200-250 on t'bay, just make sure you go for double pivot.

    Also, cheapest way to buy a groupset is buy a full bike and sell frameset etc ;)

    *I wouyldn't go for 10/11 speed for a budget build, as the consumable parts like chains are very expensive

  • i.e. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Olmo-road-racing-bike-54cm-aluminium-alloy-Campagnolo-groupset-/350911439325?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item51b3f3a1dd

    Sell frame, forks, bars, stem, pedals, seatpost, saddle and you'll have a very cheap groupset!

  • Thanks for the advice man, appreciate it.

    I've actually been offered a set of Shimano/SRAM compatible Mavic Ksyriums for a good price, so I'm leaning towards Shimano/SRAM for the rest of the group.

    Though I'd like something fairly cheap for now, I'd ultimately like a nice SRAM group; going this way from the start should allow me to upgrade (wheels/group/frame) over time without a complete restart…

  • My BNIB Ultegra cranks + SRAM http://www.lfgss.com/thread113795.html

    Or even Di2 !

    ;)

  • Also Dom going geared in public

  • Eyebrows has DA 7800 for 180

  • shit; this too ^

  • No cranks though... But if you bought amey's they'd work well together.

  • Campagnolo Record including wheelset £300 posted: http://www.lfgss.com/thread117522.html#post3943763

  • Made ultegra 6700 more palatable

    At bargainacious £80
