I went to a few bike shops around here, in the kitchener/waterloo/cambridge area, I was was looking at buying a complete sora or 105 group for a bike I am building, or just saying screw it and looking at the cost of a bike with these groups already on it.

Turns out the shops I went to quote around $450 dollars for the entire sora group, around $850 for a 105 group. And a bike with sora comps was like 800 and a bike with "some" 105 were like $1200+.

What happened? Or am I just confused over the american pricings? I would have figured I could get a complete sora built bike for like 500 dollars and a 105 for 900ish?

Now unless bikes go on a major sale, what are my best options here in canada?

Thanks for bearing with the read guys, and opinions are good.
