[Closed] Versa STI shifters for Alfines - possible group buy?

I fancy an Alfine on my Kona Sutra - especially for commuting over the winter. I've been doing a bit of digging and have found a set of STI shifters for the Alfine hub. They're made in Taiwan by Sussex Industries.

There's no UK distribution yet, so I've managed to get a price from the US. $229, plus $31 shipping.

I can also get a slightly better deal at a trade price - around $200 all in.

Neither of the above factor in any UK tax/excise costs.

Would anyone be interested in a set of these? I'm happy to co-ordinate with a view to maybe getting a better price, saving on shipping costs etc.

Oh - there's a matching 46T crank available at another $129/$90 too.
