OK guys what's the best I can get for less than £150

So far the best I've got is an Ultegra SL for £139 at Merlin

Anyone seen any other bargains.

cheers.

the 6700 is definitely a candidate but you're kinda limited to the 50 ring, which might not suit everyone. And replacement rings won't be cheap...

I picked up a RF Cadence for £100 new which is as good as the 6600 Ultegra I had before it. Very stiff and good rings.

Cheers guys,

I'm running an RF Cadence at the moment, thing is replacement rings aren't cheap!

Replacement rings just seem so expensive. It seems cheaper to buy a whole chainset.

one more point: BBs are much more limited if you go for a GXP setup

Are you saying compact chainrings are much more than doubles, or 6700 in general?

maddog 2

No, it's just that the Shimano hollow rings that are expensive

the Dura Ace ones are daft - £150?

not sure about the Ultegra ones

Obviously you could run a standard ring (TA etc.) but it might look a bit silly on the Ultregra spider

A really easy question; get the Campag UT CT (2008) from GB Cycles at £80 and
£15 for the B/B. Then spend the £55 saving on some really good tyres, or whatever you fancy next.

Hmm I'm thinking about just replaving the rings on my Raceface Cadence chainset.

Stronglight or TA...?

Anyone got any recommendations?
