60 and 70% off shimano, campy, etc. I was looking at 6703 shifters. They are listed at $186 "onlinie price", but then, on the same page, are $217 when you make the selection and add to cart. Am I missing a code somewhere?

I could be wrong, but without looking at the site (based on others), the cheaper are the double front, and then the triple is more expensive.

Partially correct, but both prices are greater than the listed $186

They haven't had the double version available at all for a couple months... I was watching it for a long time before buying some 6700 double shifters last month.

It's almost like they advertise the lowest price even though they're not available just to get you on the site.

I did just score some 5700 double shifters for $170 though... $186 for 6700 would be an absolutely killer deal. Going to throw the 5700s on my all city space horse in the hopes they're more comfortable and require less braking force than my 4600 Tiagra ones the bike came from. (Grr... Ribble with the 5800s for $120... but then upgrading a whole bike to 11sp is a lot more expensive)

Just for info-if they shift triple, they shift double..Just front der limit screw so that the third 'click' doesn't work. Still have the trim on big ring(same as middle for triple).

Doesn't anyone notice that I think they raise their prices when they release a coupon code? With this sale, the prices listed look close to the price last week with a 7% coupon code.

Nashbar does the same thing all the time.

I just keep track of final cost - after all discounts - to know when the actual lowest price is available.

The triple shows as $186.78, do you have the destination set as USA - not just the currency.
