Hopefully collecting a lightly used Defy at the weekend. Would like to change the TRP Spyres for Shimano hydraulics. I know that the mental deal on Mantel wont be matched,or even close to it, but can't see cheaper than £300, haven't looked that hard admittedly. Anyone seen cheaper?

Merlin went as low as £250 in the Black Friday sales

£300 now though. Mantel had them for £145! All long gone now of course.

I just bought a full groupset with R685 brakes and Merlin were the cheapest. If you find some shifters and want some unused calipers let me know because mine are post mount and I want some flat mount.

Just enough so I can buy some flat mount calipers. They're actually the R785 model.

Cheers but can't see anywhere selling the shifters cheap enough to make it work instead of the complete set from Merlin.
