gday, Over the past few months, ive gone through the process of upgrading my old rsx 7 speed to 9 speed ultegra. I mainly grabbed the parts from ebay both au and us (mainly US) For those wanting to do a similar thing, here's a list of prices i paid, compared to those i would have paid if i got all the gear from local stores.. Only the cranks were 2nd hand and the local prices were from LBS websites (cecil walker, freedom machine etc)
Prices i paid ultegra cranks $60 (2nd hand) ultegra BB $60 ultegra 12-21 cassette $60 105 front derallieur $20 ultegra rear gear $75 ultegra STI $215
$490 actual spend from ebay $1119 for local store prices $629 saving Apologies to those who think i should support the locals (which i would normally do), but in this case, the savings were too great..

doh! just when i thought i could park at cafe racer🙁 I did nearly snag a set of FSA carbon cranks for a good price but decided against it. I rekon 10 sp and carbon would go to waste on the old 1997 model peugeot frame i'm riding around on🙂
