SRAM Force pricing

[nscrbug]

I have an opportunity to pick up a SRAM Force gruppo (includes crankset, bottom bracket cups, front derailleur, rear derailleur, shifters with cables, brakes, chain and cassette) for $958 (+ tax) from a LBS in my area. They are running some kind of price-matching offer for a limited time (til 8/18/2011) and are price-matching the SRAM kit price from some outfit in the UK. Does this price seem like a good deal? It does to me, but then again, I haven't done too much research on SRAM pricing.

I haven't comparison shopped any components lately but, at first glance, that looks pretty good! A Rival crankset is ~$200 and a pair of shifters is at least ~$300. I would expect Force to be even more.

yes! Take it! lol. I paid more and I got a team deal on mine.

Oh, okay...very cool! I'll have to clear it with my "financial advisor", aka DH first, but hopefully he'll give me the green light.

Your Synapse is getting a SRAM makeover? Very cool!

Even it is a 2 year old NOS yes its a good deal. Even if the front derailleur doesn't quite match braze on vs clamp on, you can always buy an adapter to mount the braze onto a bike without the braze on.
