Oh how true I've found this to be...

I just checked. Chain Reaction has Chorus groupsets for about $1,000. I think they are associated with Ribble.

If you're going to record 12 spd velomine had some reasonable prices, but it's still a significant investment. I haven't really found any reasonable deals on Campy oversees for at least a year or so.

Merlin is where I get all my Campagnolo from. Velomine seems to have decent prices for a stateside site but it'll be missing parts that come standard from Merlin at a better price.

Thats where I got my Chorus like 3 years ago. I like merlin a lot. They sent me the wrong shifters (EPS) and made it right REAL quick. I also bought Potenza hydro from them for $150 a shifter/brake... man that was a steal.

Merlin Cycles still has good Campy stock at RibbleBike-like prices, and their service is very reliable

I think you mean that Chain Reaction Cycles is associated with Wiggle (they merged in 2016 to form WiggleCRC) - Ribble remains their competitor. Also, in 2017 WiggleCRC acquired the german retailer Bike24. Small world, small world.

Bike24 has been very good in terms of price and delivery time.
It is a German company that I found recently.
They are also very good with communications, precise and prompt.

I have bought Potenza groups from them and the Shimano 105 too.

I think you are right. I ordered parts from Wiggle (thought it was Ribble) a few months ago and received delivery confirmations from both Wiggle and Chain Reaction. I sent an email to Wiggle to find out what happened and they replied that they were related companies and that it was only one order.
