For my winter bike.

It's moderately used, and comes attached to a carrera vanquish, so should have carbon forks to swap.

Good deal? I know the owner so I know its well cared for

    depends which model 105

    you can get a new 5502 for 45 quid...

    ...more recent models cost more

    but if you're getting that, plus a bb, plus fork and other bits that you can use/sell on ebay/wherever seems ok
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    Sorry, meant groupset. Its the full bike I'm going to break and use bits.

    Not sure of the spec, waiting to find out if its an 08 or 09 model.

    Sounds like a pretty good deal to me for the full group, just the STI levers cost a fortune (reason why I'm still on a 9 speed Tiagra).

    £90 for a full 105 groupset is a very good deal (even if it is 9 speed). £90 for a 105 chainset only is not worth taking up - Ultegra 6600 can be had new for just over £80 last time I looked and second hand Dura-Ace 7800 can be bought for about £100 or so.
