    Hey,

    Was doin a bit of "window" shopping today in cycleways and noticed that you get Sora components for bikes of a price range of €800 to €1000. Tiagra next level up etc.

    Does anyone have a price scale for these parts? I just think spending a grand on a bike just to get a low level drivetrain is a bit s**t.

    I don't know that consumer RRPs are very meaningful, since the manufacturer will not pay these, but...

    IMO its a total rip off, 1000 quid for a bike with Sora components!!

    totally agree, a few years back you'd get 105 for around that.

    You can get a SRAM rival bike for little more than that today! (http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/YBPXSLPRIV/planet_x_pro_carbon_rival_road_bike)
