£400 gets you full 2011 10 speed inc cranks, brakes, and factory wheelset!!

because you're worth it?

That is rediculously cheap! – guess it'll be OEM kit perhaps?

It will be OEM kit which means no boxes or packaging but nothing more on those bits.

I thought it might be a typo, as they are selling the same groupset, without the wheels for the same price!

I was very tempted to….luckily I've just broken myself…

Only downside is that the cassette is 11-34, which means I personally would have to try and sell it on the classifieds and buy the 11-36 instead.

what are those wheels like?

are they 15mm bolt through or QR only?

Buy the full groupset then ebay the wheels and buy some decent ones ?

Bought the 9 Speed SLX Groupo off them in June for about £350 it came in all the proper Shimano boxes.

That’s cheap.

I’m more stunned that AS doesn’t think a 34t rear sprocket is enough. What sort of gradients are you riding, or have you ditched the granny?

Woody – Yes, planning on ditching the granny. Although I bet if I didn’t, I’d still use the 36 every-so-often 🙂

Normally, Shimano still think it will be popular because more riding can be done in the middle ring.

both groupsets i have bought (and mates) have been fully boxed up.

shimano only do 12-36t though don’t they?

sometimes boxed sometimes not it just depends what they have in stock.The groupsets are not OEM but may be a grey import but normal guarantees apply. They were cagey over where they get them from on the grey market but I got the impression maddison and the big manufacturers are trying to find out how they do this and are not happy about the RRP being ignored.

I know exactly where the grey import stuff comes from

@Rocketdog – no the new 10sp comes in 11-36 – slx and xt

ah, needing a 10sp chain ring and shifter, the outlay rizes!

It will come in big containers from Amsterdam.

They will buy it through a European company (I won’t name) who buy unused stock from big companies (like kona etc) who no longer require the parts for builds.

On-one do the same

mite not be oem i bought a ful xt setup not long back and it was all boxed

grrrr… now £480… shoulda ordered last week! 🙁
