I actually used Shiny during my last build with SRAM. They were good prices then. They are 692!!

...i can understand why so few shops in the us would bother with campag as long as they allow these crazy price discrepancies to exist .

I had great success with an ebay merchant named planetcyclery when I bought my 2011 SR11 group. They were a few hundred dollars cheaper than anything else I found. Free next day shipping too.

euro bike shops must be the best currency hedgers on the planet to support product dumping like that.
i can understand a 10% (+/-) or so discount offered by lower cost/larger scale mail order house for bike stuff (u.s. or offshore based), but 50%+? that's some f'd up control (or lack thereof) of distribution. talk about screwing the retailer. |

Velomine..Ben or David are great to work with and will come to a great price. I have bought three Record groups from them and what's best about them is you get the WARRANTY unlike the Euro shops.
In the end, it's better to purchase here, support 'Merica |

Unless you're suggesting not to buy via mail order, I don't see the point of not buying from the UK. Edit: You have to send the defect parts to a Campy Service center. There are 4 in the UK, 5 in the US. Other than the cost of international postage, I see no reason to use US mail-order over UK mail-order . Last edited by Tony T; 03-08-2012 at 12:02 PM. |

To be clear, I'm not saying that people shouldn't purchase things from UK merchants. That's an individual choice. But if a consumer wants warranty protection, it's more certain to buy from a US vendor. |

I would also add, as I have many times before, that I think the guys at VeloMine are really terrific.

FYI: Campagnolo limited warranty So, the warranty will be honored by Campy if bought in the UK, you just have to send it to a UK Service Center ("8. PROCEDURE: In the event of a defect covered by this warranty, the purchaser should contact an authorized Campagnolo Service Center of the nation where the retail sale occurred ") Last edited by Tony T; 03-08-2012 at 12:17 PM. |
