I'm trying to sell some of my other 'extra' stuff to maybe come up with the funds. If I do and if I install it myself I'll post back......
I know what it includes. The Colorado Cyclist $3200 "group" I noted above includes just four items: the brifters, front derailleur, rear derailleur and the battery pack/wiring harness.
The fact Chain Reaction sells it for $2000 but doesn't have the parts in stock reminds me of a very old joke:
Woman: " How much are eggs"
Grocer: "$1.50 a dozen"
Woman: "The store across the street sells them for $1.25 a dozen."
Grocer: "Then why not buy from him?"
Woman: "He's out of them"
Grocer: "When I'm out of eggs, I'll sell them for $1.00 a dozen."
