Older but new Shimano groupsets

GoingCarbon

I've tried Googling but not found anything. Does anyone know of an outlet that might still stock new as yet unsold Shimano groupsets.

It may be a long shot but if I find some my assumption is that they will be substantially cheaper that a new 2011 groupset.

Yes I'm looking for a cheap Shimano groupset

Merlin often stock discounted older groupsets (e.g. old 105 is £350). Otherwise ebay.

What do you call cheap and what level? DA? Sora?

This 105 5600

http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/Bike+Shop ... -GROUP.htm

is 60 quid cheaper than what Ribble are knocking out 5700 for.

although 15% is hardly 'substantially' cheaper.

I still run 9 spd ultegra on my BMC and have managed to get NOS spares (6500 double crank, 6600 rear derailleur, 6500 BB) by shopping around but not seen a complete groupset.

Ideally sub £250 :shock:

for a full out of the box groupset, ribble are still very competitive - if it's for a commuter bike get the sora (double) for 195

£295/300
