How many of you are feeling the SRAM/FSA creep as of late. I just sat down tonight and ordered a FSA SLK 170mm 53/39 Crank Set with BB and a SRAM front & rear derailleurs for a new bike in my stable. Becasue to get the same weight savings from Shimano, it's hundreds more now. Are they feeling a pinch from FSA and SRAM and upping there prices to hold a bottom line or is SRAM and FSA putting glitter & unicorn tails in there alloy mix now days? Just saying.
