R2-Bike are generally cheaper than Bike24 for groupsets, and are good to deal with.

Stock will be your issue.

Good luck with that.

Bike-discount will ship but you have to spend > Eu175

a 1x11 Deore groupset will be more than Eu175 though so not much luck required.

At the risk of sounding like a Boris/Brexit fanboi, I'd agree with this. Suspect my replacement bike components will be like or like or even downgrades for the next couple of years.

In some cases UK shops don't stock or supply individual parts like some of the EU retailers do. Okay groupsets are fine, but a lot of SRAM components for example, to repair bits are unavailable in UK for the consumer and have to go through an LBS to repair or try to convince them to sell the actual part. Main use I've had for EU bike retailers is to buy those (genuine) parts I just can't get easily in UK.
