For instance the full Shimano Saint groupset which is aimed at DH bikes. I recently bought a full Shimano XT groupset including wheels for a bike I'm building and saved a fortune over buying all the stuff separately. Good deals from <a href="http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/</a>. You'll still need to get some of the bits like bars, pedals, grips etc. separately though. </p> http://www.madmtb.com/wordpress/bbpress/topic.php?id=978#post-9271 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:32:42 +0000 Anonymous 9271@http://www.madmtb.com/wordpress/bbpress/ <p>he's a metro-sexual galway man! </p> http://www.madmtb.com/wordpress/bbpress/topic.php?id=966&page=2#post-9270 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:29:16 +0000 Anonymous 9270@http://www.madmtb.com/wordpress/bbpress/ <p>Liam,</p> <p>Don't need the lift thanks.
