Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Who's Got The Best Prices on a Dura-Ace 7803 Groupo?

Does anyone know who's has the best prices on a Dura-Ace 7803 triple groupset? I'm looking to get a complete groupset on a build up I'm doing and checking around who might have the best deal.

I agree. Seriously. Maybe I am a snob, but it seems so silly to get a racing group with a triple. Kinda like getting a sports car with an automatic transmission.

Bad analogy imo, because with a DA triple, he keeps the original, 39-53 front, race DA chainrings, the race gearing, but adds a couple of special situation gears with the little ring. In your sports car analogy, the driver loses the original race gearing.

The question on the title of this thread states "Who's Got The Best Prices on a Dura-Ace 7803 Groupo?" I'm not asking for an advise should I get a double or a triple, or did I say I was going to race it. So I would appreciate it if you don't dictate to me what to get. As far as a race cars if you don't know by now some of those are semi automatics once the clutch goes in from the start then you don't need depress the clutch to change gears.
