cheaper on ebay.

https://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=sra...286.m270.l1313

and on ebay you can get 2010 Red for $1300.

JeffS

But... they say it's regularly $2899.99. It has to be a deal...

cslone

Nothing special.

Sold out, but seems like that was a pretty awesome deal.

Triguy

You can still add it to your cart even though it's out of stock. The Ritchey Comp stuff is nothing to write home about but the Sram S27 comp wheels make it a "good" deal in my book.

I got my brand new 2010 Force group for $850 shipped on eBay. IIRC there were several more listed for a similar price.

mmmdonuts

It was a full bike kit including a Performance Al frame.

evenslower

Was it a Force group or build kit? That Performance deal seems pretty sweet.

djlarroc

I don't know too much about all this yet, but the PB deal DOES include wheelset, tires, tubes even and bunch more stuff than the ebay links..

...that you aren't going to use. Unless you have some spare parts lying around and want to assemble a (nice) beater

Midwest Ullrich

I played around with the checkout. Final cost is $899 (free shipping). I think it is a very good deal considered you got a frame, seat, wheels and tires.

enjoi07

why not. you have a complete bike with great components...decent frame. this would be a perfect crit bike. for under $899 if you are a member.

krazygl00

This is a complete build kit, not just the group. Seems like a pretty sweet deal, but I would rather just buy the group and pick my own wheels, handlebars, stem, seatpost, etc.

vanno.velo

this^

kabex

I didn't know "build kits" existed, anyone know where to look for this stuff?

I imagine it'd be way cheaper than picking components one by one, also it's good to have spare parts laying around.

Inertianinja

i stand corrected - i guess for that much stuff it is a good deal. I thought it was just the group.

speedemon

I guess you didn't read it or did you? My understand by this ad is you get all this for $1000. If this isn't a good deal then maybe you can maybe find us a better deal of the day:

It doesn't matter now, it was such a good deal it's all gone now!

enjoi07

you can still get it add it to the cart and you get it when it arrives.

MTB2Road

Just me, or is that a really bad cranksetXcassette combo for climbing? 53x39 and 11x23? I'm new to road biking, but this seems like a flatlander special.

enjoi07

not so much the 53x39. but the fact that they don't give you options for the cassette kinda sucks. i think i am on a 12-25 in the back and i do just fine on climbs...i was using a 27 before and thought i could never do without, but you adapt.

speedemon

Yes I see, I just read the details myself in the red highlight:

(Sorry, this item is Out of Stock. You can still order it and we will ship it to you as soon as it comes in)

So it sounds like you can still backorder it.

ual747captain

What does it matter $900 for a build kit, buy another cassette you want separate and just e-bay what you don't want!
