Can you fit mechanical group on Di2 specific frame?
Postby Ross » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:56 pm
I want Ui2 group and buying a complete bike and swapping the bits and reselling the donor bike seems to be the cheapest way of doing it. I'd prefer not to do it this way but I don't really see an alternative. Not interested in keeping the Azzuri.
Alternative is to sell the Azzuri without groupset but I can't see anyone being interested in that as it will cost more than what the bike costs new to buy groupset. Maybe someone wants some art for their wall?!

I think they are currently out of stock anyway. Price would work out to be over $1800 once you add GST, duty and freight. still cheaper and less hassle I guess than buying a complete bike and swapping/pirating the parts I want.Reman wrote:Merlin have Ultegra Di2 for a touch under 1.5k.

Yeah this correct, it has the mounts under the bottom bracket and plugs on the front of the head tube.

It actually works out cheaper than buying from o/s once you add duty and GSTtwizzle wrote:Bargin, I'll take two!__PG__ wrote:Cecil Walker have the groupset for $1,749 with free shipping in Australia.
