GRX di2 (st 815) availability? levers or groupset?
I'm having a tough time finding any news about the availability of GRX di2 levers. It seems the right one is sold out everywhere with no real ETAs listed. Does anyone know about how the supply chain is looking for it?

Even the big brands cannot get parts for product line production right now. There are a few around in some local bike shops but they are holding on to them for regular loyal customers and custom build opportunities. This is one of those times where a good relationship with an LBS would pay off. 815 levers are not expected to be widely available until August at best.

I bought a GRX815 group back last May from BikeInn in the UK. I think they were about the only place I could find them. Looking there now they only have the left shifter, so that doesn't really help you. FWIW I recently built up a tandem and I got R785 di2 levers with brake calipers for $330 for both on eBay. You may have better luck finding those.

Check out eBay - there is a right shifter/brake combo available! There is also a set of shifters without brakes for sale.

It's rough out there right now - I'm waiting for a GRX front caliper right now that I ordered over a month ago. I keep seeing online shops and local shops say there is supposed to be a Shimano drop coming by the end of March, beginning of April, but I'll believe it when I see it.
