Either way, you'd be crazy to not buy a new groupset from Europe if you were in the market right now. A friend of mine just bought a full Athena group from the LBS and paid almost exactly twice Ribble's price.

I am seriously considering buying an 11 speed 105 group for no good reason. I don't have a bike for it. I just feel like I will at some point, and it's less than $400!
