My LBS seems to be having trouble finding any of their suppliers to provide a Tiagra group for me to upgrade an older touring bike.
Any ideas on where I can help them look to locate a good source for a reasonable sourcing for a group?
I don't want to spring for the higher end groups that they could find quickly...
They can find bits and pieces here and there, but can't sem to get a whole group together, and they seem to be working for me here to get a group price instead of prices for individual components.
Any other ideas for compromises to keep cost down while keeping similar quality?
I don't want to deal with the hassle of selling a BikesDirect frame etc. ;)
