My tricross has a tiagra groupset, including cranks, cassette, chain, rear deraileur and braze on fron deraileur. All my other bikes have Apex groupset and I much prefer the double tap change.
I'm considering swapping out the tiagra groupset for Apex and either selling it on here or ebay.
Would anybody buy a used tiagra groupset and what would it be worth ?
£100/£150 ?
Any sales proceedes would go towards the upgrade costs.
I could swap one of the other sets out and upgrade to force/red but that would be very expensive and i doubt i'd feel much difference in the operation of the shift.
Or am I getter off selling the tricross (sport 2011) and getting something with Apex and discs (boardman cx).

    Force would be a good upgrade, it's a massive upgrade over apex in feel. Starts at £650 from ribble

    I would stick with it, are you really going to get a big enough improvement ??

    2nd hand tiagra really wouldn't be worth much, put an advert on and if you get a buyer, remove and replace - you'd lose more money on a change....

    or sell tiagra, put force on the best bike and donor the other apex set

    I've got Apex with Force levers on two bikes and a complete Force groupset on another; I'd struggle to tell the difference between them to be honestl
