Don Sol Posted January 29, 2015 Share Frustrated... good choice of word for a public forum. Well ive bought the groupset. I have received basically 1 item a month since September. Its Nearly Feb and still no cranks. All the punt but no supply. Crazy. However the OEMs have all ratios and all crank lengths. The original forecast was that the Di2 was to hit the shelves Jan. Feel sorry for anyone waiting, maybe October. Speed it up Shimano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted January 29, 2015 Share Release date for the Di2 XTR in SA was Feb and I've been accumulating my groupset as it's been coming in. Last item (battery) should be here in a day or 2. So ultimately the Feb release date has been met. Difficulty may come in the stock levels as they'll get sold out pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_David_ Posted January 30, 2015 Share As a matter of interest what does the groupset retail for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted January 30, 2015 Share As a matter of interest what does the groupset retail for? I haven't actually added it all together yet - will do so when I've completed assembly with all wires etc. But it's not cheap by any means.......

GoLefty!! Posted January 30, 2015 Share I costed it at about R38K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundledog Posted January 30, 2015 Share I costed it at about R38KI wonder what my kidney will retail for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sol Posted January 30, 2015 Share The mechanical set is 17k I think. what swayed my choice from xx1 etc. Is replacement costs. Derailer, casette etc. Xx1 casette is R4800 XTR 9000 is R2900. Rear der. 5000 vs 2800. And as we know a rear derailer is quiet exposed. XTR is a touch lighter than xx1 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted January 30, 2015 Share Nice to see XTR is a "bargain" price compared to SRAMs top flight stuff, wonder why that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted January 31, 2015 Share I costed it at about R38K Pretty spot on that! Full retail is R37.5k incl all wiring, BB, and Ant+ transmitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
