Some sizes are listed out of stock, but if you wait a week they're usually back is stock. Most of the components are OEM and come in a cardboard box sealed by Shimano with no installation instructions.. Only a few come in the blue retail box.
The front dérailleur is very different from anything I've ever set up before. I couldn't have set it up without this utube video. There is a section around 8:30 that shows how to line up two white lines I would have never seen. The routing if the cable is very different too, he covers that very well. The bottom bracket (English) takes a 41mm socket, There are so many different bottom brackets out there now, it's ridiculous. You'll need the
SHIMANO Hollowtech-II Crank-arm/Cap Tool, TL-FC16 to tighten the crank arm, don't over tighten it.
His other videos are very helpful too.
