That's annoying. I haven't really looked into the flat mount thing, but I really don't see why we needed yet another standard. In any event, I got the RS685 brakes before Shimano started flat mounting everything, so I'm happy there.
My main interest in this group is in the crankset. I like the 46-32 double with a road-like 43.5 chainline. I've been looking for these to show up on my favorite web sites. So far just bike24 as was said above, but I imagine they'll start making their way through other distribution channels soon. The price on bike24 is pretty close to what I'm seeing for Ultegra cranksets on U.S. sites. Hopefully that will come down a bit.
