Has anyone spotted any 10-speed groupset bargains out there?

Must be BB30 53/39, looking at SRAM Red or equivalent.

All the best offers seem to be for 11 speed.

If anything, the 10-speed stuff has become more expensive since the advent of 11-speed. I think the chances of finding a bargain, especially given that you have specific requirements around chainset/BB, are slim.

As a Campag man it pains me to say it, but the groupset bargain of the moment has to be 11s 105, which can be had for £300 online. I tried it on a mate's bike a few weekends ago; it's brilliant.

If you're in the Facebook "Cycling Buy Swop and Sell" group there was someone selling a whole 7900 group for about £450 secondhand, looked in good nick. Can't find the ad now, but that group is definitely worth perusing.

Just don't get yourself banned, twice, or else you'll have to change your name and profile picture to get back in again. Ask me how I know.

Damn, I haven't found a groupset on that FB page but I have just bought a powermeter instead. Dangerous place ;-)

Yes the admin is a little strict....
I managed a ban for pointing out the secondhand price for something was less than the new if you used a couple of discounts.....
Actually something I was interested in if the price was right.

A good place for high end kit though - I've spent a small fortune through there

I dared to comment sarcastically that it made a nice change that someone was selling a real pair of Oakleys on the site for a change.

The first ban was for suggesting to someone that they might struggle to get the bike they wanted for their budget, which was "up to £30".
