Like it says in the title.

For my new Scott frame, either the addict or CR1. Really fancy ultegra but not sure I can justify the extra expense over 105.

Have seen 105 for £400 and ultegra is coming in at about £580. Anyone seen any better prices?

    Well indeed, and someone on here said that within recent months he bagged 105 for £275.
    Have you tried flubit?

    Ah sorry there was no link, I think it was mentioned on the bargains thread surrounding the building of the cr1's.

    Pretty sure he did not mention where from, must have been a special offer I guess.

    Ribble is coming around the 600 mark depending on the variant.

    Yesterday, I went for an Ultegra 6700 and 105 5700 mix (Ultegra chainset, calipers and chain - the rest 105) and it came in at £416. I'll also be getting a bit back from Quidco.

    I used Ribble, J E James and Merlin.

    Bought mine from Merlin, Ribble were cheaper but out of stock of the braze-on derailleur. Assuming it comes with cables?

    I'd got full 105 for £375 from Ribble and that was way cheaper than anyone else. I mentioned that recently, I'd be amazed at full 105 for £275.

    Don't forget that Ultegra 6800 is due out in the next couple of months - at least on new bike models, no idea about parts availability. So the prices of 6700 may drop a little; at least that's what I'm hoping ;)
