Full 6800 group at $520-540. About as cheap as I have seen since the post-Brexit insanity. Might have to swoop.

Wait - they want to charge $50 for shipping! What.

More expensive on a few products I just checked. I'm sure it varies.

I'm looking at purchasing an etap upgrade kit and even with $45+ shipping, LG's price is almost $90 cheaper than anywhere else:

LG - $1086.66 plus $45.26 shipping = $1131.92

Total Cycling - $1205.66 plus $14.71 shipping = $1220.37

Merlin - $1331.63 & free shipping, but says can't be shipped to US?!

Ribble is out

I'm getting my group from a LBS who is pretty good at matching prices. Plus, I'm looking to get a mid-cage RD which no ones seem to have yet. Good Luck!

Out of curiosity:
Campy Record Chain:
Ribble: $43.70 + 6.57 shipping = $50.27
Lord Gun: $38.50 + 13.91 shipping = $52.41

If I up the order to 5 chains, shipping goes up add'l $5, on Ribble shipping goes down to $0

Has anyone here actually purchased an eTap kit from one of the overseas sites that are offering them so cheap? It seems that the kit price is pretty firmly established by SRAM at $1660 in the US. It seems like everyone in the US is selling it at the same price. I'm curious how these overseas sites could sell it for almost $600 less. It just doesn't seem like currency conversion and a strong dollar can account for that big a difference.

There is a baby road 24" frame for almost nothing... is that 24 inch kids junior 24" wheels frame or is a super small 700C?

I actually just tried ordering one from Sigma UK as their price was a good 300 US lower, but when I went to check out, they said due to vendor agreements, they could not ship that product to me.

I took a peak at the sight. Looks like they don't carry any products from Hope. Kind of odd I think.

Tell them you won't tell if they don't.

Why? Despite the "co.uk" address, LG is located in ITALY:

LordGun
via fura 7
25125 Brescia - Italy
UK Tel. +44 2038072451
US Tel. +1 (323) 739-1653

link: https://www.lordgunbicycles.co.uk/contact-us

So I expect them to carry all things Italian and am disappointed they don't carry the Campy corkscrew....Good Luck!
