  1. Hi there

    I'm starting to build a bike (my first time) so i was wondering how much a LX groupset would cost in America?? Also it would be good to know how much a XT groupset costs as well. I currently live in AUstralia, but my bro is going over there and it could be cheaper! Any help would be awesome!!! I know its cheaper to buy a new bike, but this is a hobby of mine and i think it would be awesome to learn how to build a bike from scratch

    Cheers for your help

    Ride ON!!!

  2. It'll be much cheaper to buy the groupset in the US.

    Heres a link that may help; I think it only has individual component prices though, not full groups: http://www.comparisonpricing.com/ (if you want to buy a full groupset, it's cheaper to buy it as one, rather than bit by bit)

  3. Typically, some of the best online retailer prices for complete build kits:
    pricepoint.com3 Parts 135 Build Kits True.htm

    Low XT M760 price without hubs ($599):
    beyondbikes.comItems.asp

    If you need everything except the fork and frame, this looks good too:

    Sorry also the groupset is for V brakes and i require just the standard groupset, not build kits. cheers

  5. A newer LX groupo should cost significantly less than a newer XT. If you're not obsessed about weight, the LX should be a good deal. I ride XT from a few years ago and friends' newer LX components are just as good. Sorry to hear about the cost of bike components in Australia. You need a few Wal-Marts...just kidding...🙂
