    Does it have to be 105?

    Tiagra or Ultegra will also suffice and might widen your options.

    Why not buy online. Fair enough if you want to support a local bike shop but you'll save buying on line.

    Might be something to do with the time constraints in the OP...... ;)

    Someone told me when i asked the difference between an ultegra and tiagra cassette
    40 quid and 20 grammes....

    They have a bigger big cog if you're doing the Mick Byrne than 105...

    I think I saw 105 chainrings in Richies in Swords last time I was in

    Slightly off topic but I find 105 the best for changing to different size chainrings. The 105 seems to have a fairly standard 5 bolt setup so I currently run a 46/34 on my work bike and a 42/34 on the touring bike. There are a large selection of different size chainrings for this 5 bolt setup.

    Not sure if different size chainrings are available for Tiagra or Ultegra bar the standard 50/34 for a compact setup but I may be mistaken.
