It's like nashbar is hurting their own chances of selling microshift units by selling the ultegra 6603 for such a low price.
On that note, can anyone explain why Nashbar's doing that? $150 will barely buy used Ultegra on Ebay. Are these discontinued, and if so, what's the difference with the new ones?
