I haven't made the move to 11 speed, I had no idea how pricey it is these days.

I can't believe that didn't go. Just the cheap shipping price should have gotten somebody's attention.....

Seems like a good deal.
Their pricing strategy is clear to even the casual observer:
Crankarm length in cm (mms are so 10 speed) X # lg chainring teeth X # small chainring teeth = $29,325.
Apply a 20% discount because it is not EPS specific
Add back 3-4% for eBay fees.
And voila, you have a bargain.
Heck, they're practically giving away shipping @ $9.99!

I was going to buy but then saw that shipping to Canada was $42! That put it a bit out of my reach.

Dont "upgrade" yet, just wait for 12 speed.

I've bought a bunch of campy stuff from Crosslake sales on ebay and directly. They have been great to deal with and have good service. I'd assume this was just a typo.

Either that, or it's the new platinum version.

Willing to bet it was supposed to be $249.97 and they missed a decimal.

yeah, someone was having a bad day, it was listed as Centaur 11, which may be in the works at some point but I don't think it's being closed out yet. They have another one listed correctly as Chorus 11, $249.97. At first I think that's a great deal on a crank that's on sale other places for $450, then I remember that the most I've ever spent on a crank is around $100. I still don't see 11 speed trickling down to my level any time soon.

I have bought two sets of Chorus 11 from Ribble. Not because i thought it was better than 10-speed (i like the reach and look of the 10-speed shifters better). I thought that, being more modern, it would be easier to replace parts if needed.

Plenty of 10 speed parts still kicking around. Just ask me. Or Akelman. :rolleyes:

+1. The differences in the two groups above are un-detectable, IME.

The pricing must be computed by the RIAA and MPAA folks who figure 'damages' from 'piracy'
