    Potentially in the market for a Groupset. Where is there good value in orline or in a LBS

    Have checked
    Bike 24
    Slane
    Wiggle
    CRC
    Cycle Superstore

    So where else should I be looking for a new groupset?

    merlin normally have good deals on groupsets. They have the 2013 red groupset (which looks very tasty) for a decent price.

    I bought my Ultegra groupset on Bike24 earlier this year for €600 odd. Certainly worth looking at the various German sites - bikepalast.de, jedi-sports.de, Rose Bikes. Planet X and, as mentioned by ckeego, Merlin Cycles, are worth a look too.

    bike-components.de seems pretty cheap for groupsets also

    I bought a Campag groupset earlier this year. Cheapest price I got was from Jedi Sports in Germany. Several of the German sites, such as Bike 24, were up there on competitive pricing.

    Strange coincidence, but I was going to ask a similar question!

    I came across this crowd and was going to ask if anyone had used them? Prices are in sterling though http://www.roadbikeparts.co.uk/category_s/42.htm

    No.
    Will be Shimano, as I want compatibility between other bikes and wheelsets.
